#GFN24: Your #GFNFives really hit the spot! 🎯

Just over a week until we see you lovely friends of the Global Forum on Nicotine at #GFN24 in Warsaw! Today we are delighted to be sharing with you some of the fascinating #GFNFive creations the GFN community has produced for #GFN24.

Check out these *brand new* #GFNFives

Starting with the THR advocates and consumers, Chris Baxter put a spotlight on the reasons why people use nicotine, whilst Lindsey Stroud (who will be joining #GFN24 panel discussion ‘The costs of prohibition’ and workshop ‘Media engagement for consumers’) examined the notoriously secretive nature of the recent FCTC COP10 meeting in Panama. Marc Seidler highlighted sCOPe’s livestream tackling misinformation, featuring several well-known faces of THR, whilst in his #GFNFive Igor Yatskov looked at smoking cessation from the perspective of the medical professional, with a focus on including safer nicotine products in the clinical conversation surrounding quitting smoking.

John Oyston gave us an update to the increased visibility and conversation surrounding nicotine pouches in Canada, and the corresponding shift in government messaging surrounding these safer products. And moving to Australia, Chase Wallace asked how many lives could potentially be saved if the Australian government moved away from its hardline prohibitionist strategy for safer nicotine products.

Konstantinos Farsalinos (joining us for #GFN24 panel discussion ‘Legislation and regulation - health and economic consequences’ and #ScienceLab) explored the role of flavours in smoking cessation in his #GFNFive, highlighting that flavour preference changes over time. And in her film Aylen Van Isseldyk looks at the intersection of environmental concerns and tobacco harm reduction, especially the need for a strong focus on sustainability with regards to safer products.

We’ll be uploading more #GFNFives as the conference approaches, so keep an eye out for those in the next week!

Give a warm welcome to our #GFN24 media partners!

And finally a note of thanks to some more of our fabulous #GFN24 media partners, who have been brilliantly spreading the word about this year’s conference.
