Join global public health experts for an informative event on tobacco harm reduction (THR) in South Africa.
Join us for an informative event on tobacco harm reduction (THR) in South Africa. We will discuss the benefits of THR in preventing tobacco-related diseases and premature deaths, along with best practices from countries like Japan, and the United Kingdom.
We will also explore the impact of Sweden’s embrace of lower-risk alternatives to cigarettes, such as snus, nicotine pouches, vapes, and heated tobacco products, resulting in one of the lowest smoking rates in Europe.
Our goal is to see how those experiences could be used in South African tobacco control, stimulate international research, and create multi-stakeholder dialogue.
Speakers will include: Dr. Delon Human, Dr. Derek Yach, Dr. Kgosi Letlape, Asanda Gcoyi, Dr. Anders Milton, Joseph Magero and Kurt Yeo.
