Major issues to address at nicotine forum

One of the main topics for discussion at the first Global Forum on Nicotine, which will be held in Poland next month, will be the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s deeming regulations for e-cigarettes.

But also high on the list will be the new EU Tobacco Products Directive, the World Health Organization’s position on e-cigarettes, and the upcoming meeting of the parties to the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (COP6), where proposals are due to be made about including e-cigarettes in the FCTC.

The forum, at the Marriott Hotel, Warsaw, June 27–28, is being organized by KAC, which stages public health and addictions conferences and runs the Nicotine Science and Policy website www.nicotinepolicy.net.

The forum’s website is at http://gfn.net.co/; registration is available at http://gfn.net.co/registration.
