The last Forest webinar before we take a summer break from our programme of online events is on Thursday July 8.
Tobacco harm reduction is an honourable goal but like most tobacco control conferences THR events generally ignore a key stakeholder – the millions of confirmed smokers who enjoy smoking, know the health risks and still don't want to quit.
We believe that all nicotine users deserve equal respect and understanding and that every consumer has a right to be heard regardless of what product or device they use.
Ahead of the announcement of the UK government's new tobacco control plan (expected soon) our 'Consumer Voices Uncut' webinar will therefore feature several confirmed smokers alongside ex-smokers and vapers (heated tobacco and e-cigarettes).
Our consumer panel includes special guest Mark Littlewood, director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs (above); plus Henry Hill, news editor, Conservative Home; journalist Pat Nurse; artist Anita Chowdry; vaping advocate Andy Morrison; and smokers' rights campaigner Emily Wieja.
As well as the tobacco control plan – which aims to achieve a 'smoke free England' by 2030 – we'll be addressing topical issues such as raising the age of sale of tobacco from 18 to 21; health warnings on individual cigarettes; bans on smoking and vaping at work; and calls to ban smoking in beer gardens and other outdoor seating areas.
