What is the Global Forum on Nicotine?

The GFN is the only international conference to focus on the role of safer nicotine products that help people switch from smoking.  Safer nicotine products include e-cigarettes (vapes), nicotine pouches,oral tobaccos such as Swedish snus, and heated tobacco products. This is a rapidly evolving area, with many new non-combustible products emerging over the past ten to fifteen years.

The rapid development and use of safer nicotine products raises a number of challenging scientific questions about their safety, who uses them and why, and the impact on smoking. These products also raise challenges for governments who seek to understand what kind of policy and regulation is appropriate. The GFN examines the rapidly developing science in relation to nicotine and its use, including policy and regulatory responses.
