GFN.TV Interviews #88 | HOW TOBACCO CONTROL LOST ITS WAY?
Growing criticism of modern tobacco control increasingly centres on concerns that public health policy has shifted away from smoking cessation and toward nicotine prohibition. Critics argue that ideological approaches, misinformation, and the dismissal of harm reduction strategies may be undermining progress in reducing smoking-related disease. The debate also highlights tensions between public health objectives, consumer autonomy, and the role of scientific evidence in shaping regulation of safer nicotine products. As smoking rates continue to decline in many countries, questions are emerging over whether current tobacco control frameworks are adapting effectively to new technologies and evolving patterns of nicotine use.
