🧪Join our new dynamic Science Lab in Warsaw at #GFN24 

Science is the foundation of the Global Forum on Nicotine, and today we proudly bring you a preview of #ScienceLab, an exciting innovation for #GFN24. During four dedicated #ScienceLab sessions leading scientists and researchers will be presenting their science and discussing it with the audience, live in Warsaw. Each #ScienceLab presenter will have 15 minutes to present and discuss their research. Here we announce just some of the hotly anticipated presentations on offer at the #GFN24 #ScienceLab!

• In a fascinating analysis of the National Youth Tobacco Survey, Andrea Patton of CSUR Research and Consultancy will detail the real impact of flavours on youth use of safer products, as well as exploring the shifting perception of e-cigarette safety amongst young people.

• Flavours feature prominently in the safer product debate, and in his #ScienceLab session Konstantinos Farsalinos will look at the part flavours play in helping adult smokers quit, in a cross-sectional study of former smokers.

• Colin Mendelsohn, prominent Australian THR advocate and researcher, will present the real science regarding e-cigarette use amongst young people, tackling one of the major myths that permeates the safer product debate.

• Rosalia Emma CoEHAR will be looking at the three year Replica project that has undertaken and mapped the replication, in exquisite detail, of a significant volume of research into the cytotoxicity of electronic nicotine delivery systems. Mirko Casu, also of CoEHAR, will be discussing their latest research into how novel and emerging technologies could be utilised to help aid smoking cessation.

• Carrie Wade of PMI will be highlighting their new research exploring the aerosol chemistry of heated tobacco products, with discussion of alternative metrics of nicotine exposure from heated tobacco products.

• Similarly exploring emissions of heated tobacco products is a film by Yoko Miyamoto of JTI, which will be presented at GFN by Karin Jacobson. What does emission data from heated tobacco products tell us about their relative safety compared to combustible tobacco products?

• Roberto Sussman of ICN-UNAM will set out the evidence underpinning our understanding of e-cigarette aerosol chemistry, and the context this gives us about the safety of e-cigarette emissions. Roberto will also be presenting the culmination of two years of research, carried out by himself and Sebastian Soulet of ingésciences, into the impact of flawed research methodologies on the public debate over e-cigarette safety.

To participate in these discussions live you need to be with us at GFN24 in Warsaw - so register soon!
