The scientific 8th Summit on Tobacco Harm Reduction has successfully concluded on October 1st. We are happy to share a highlights video from the Athens Summit, as a reminder.
200 experts from 51 countries convened in Athens and online to discuss evidence-based strategies, stressing that science —not ideology— must guide global tobacco control. Harm reduction has been proven to be a valuable public health strategy for smokers who cannot or will not quit.
As underlined across all sessions:
While cessation remains the gold standard, alternatives such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine products represent a pragmatic, science-based option.
