Tobacco Reporter November 2024

In Tobacco Reporter’s November 2024 issue, we look back on another successful edition of the Global Tobacco and Nicotine Forum (GTNF), which took place Sept. 24-26 in Athens this year.

While it’s impossible to do justice to this event in a just handful of Tobacco Reporter pages, we have highlighted key moments and takeaways that not only illustrate the depth and breadth of the forum, but will also demonstrate to those who missed this year’s edition why they simply cannot afford to skip the next one, in 2025.

The GTNF was not the only tobacco event this northern hemisphere fall. In the wake of the 2024 Coresta Congress, which took place Oct. 13-17 in Edinburgh, George Gay took the opportunity to interview Danielle Tower, group head of scientific and regulatory affairs at BAT, the host of the Congress, about the tremendous opportunity presented by tobacco harm reduction.

Ivan Genov reports from the International Tobacco Growers Association annual general meeting, which convened in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, this year, and public health veteran Scott D. Ballin stresses the continued importance of “safe-haven” dialogues between stakeholder in a time of division and animosity.
