Jerozolimskie 65/79, 00-697 Warszawa, Poland.

The deadline to apply for media accreditation is Wednesday 31 May 2023.
Tobacco harm reduction substitutes deadly combustible tobacco with safer nicotine products, which include nicotine vapes (e-cigarettes), nicotine pouches, oral tobaccos such as Swedish snus, and heated tobacco products. A rapidly evolving area, many new non-combustible products have emerged over the past ten to fifteen years. It's a topic of significant interest to audiences worldwide, as the toll of death and disease from combustible tobacco continues to mount, and as governments and consumers adapt to developments in safer nicotine products.
The organisers of the Global Forum on Nicotine encourage participation from media representatives both onsite and online. We believe your role in communicating information, commentary and analysis of tobacco harm reduction and safer nicotine products is essential. Thanks to high quality, accurate and balanced reporting, public understanding of this subject, which is the source of significant debate and misinformation, will improve. As with all good public health interventions, smoking cessation efforts and tobacco harm reduction are rooted in the provision of high quality information, enabling people to make decisions for themselves.
To attend and report on this event, please fill in the media registration form before Wednesday 31 May 2023.
