The European Network for Smoking Prevention (ENSP) in association with the European Conference on Tobacco Control (ECTC) and Tobacco Prevention & Cessation invites you to participate in this webinar which aims to address the effects and challenges of implementing the ban on flavoured tobacco products.

The conference will address the following topics:

• Health beliefs and smoking behavior of menthol and other flavored cigarette smokers following flavor bans
• Behavioural reactions of menthol smokers to the European Union ban on flavour characterisation
• Impact of the Canadian menthol cigarette ban on smoking cessation among menthol smokers and projections for the European Union
• Methodology for testing tobacco products on flavour characterization in the European Union
• Tobacco industry tactics against flavour bans in Europe, with a focus on Poland and the UK

Representatives of the tobacco and vaping industry are not permitted to attend this event. The same rule applies to any entity or person asserting interests associated with the tobacco and vaping industry for commercial or non-commercial purposes. The ENSP recalls the fundamental and irreconcilable conflict between the commercial interests of the tobacco industry and those of public health (Art 5.3 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control).
