Episode 30: David Sweanor
In this episode of Across the Pond, Martin Cullip and Lindsey Stroud are joined by David Sweanor from the University of Ottawa to discuss tobacco harm reduction in Canada. They explore new research co-authored by Sweanor, recently shared on the Canadian government’s website, which highlights the role of flavors in helping adults quit smoking—despite ongoing government efforts to ban them. The discussion also covers the broader progress of harm reduction and how prohibitionists continue to challenge and undermine these efforts.
