Closing Keynote: Tobacco Harm Reduction in a Global Context – Strategies for the 21st Century

In the closing keynote Dr Vaughan Rees will explore the success and failures of global tobacco control over the last 5 decades and discuss the impact of policies and current evidence-based interventions.  Examining both adult and youth trajectories from different countries, using systematic reviews, Dr Rees will consider the impact of smoking cessation interventions on population prevalence and health disparities.  The session will look at the challenge, opportunities and urgent need to chart a future path to change the trajectory of tobacco-related harm in the 21st century.
