Ecig Summit 2024

Ecig Summit 2024 organisers say that all of the speakers are scheduled to attend in person this year, but that there is a hybrid option for attendance for people who cannot join in person in London. 

They say: “This year’s E-Cigarette Summit takes place at an important time, as the UK government puts the Tobacco and Vapes Bill back on the table, which will seek additional powers to change how tobacco, e-cigarettes and other nicotine products are supplied and regulated.

“While the public health goal remains to reduce or eliminate smoking, the question of where and how e-cigarettes and other nicotine products fit within this aspiration remains a contentious public health and policy debate.”

They say the conversation taking place in the UK, and that which will happen at the conference, “mirrors those taking place in countries such as Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand” as countries seek to balance the ending of smoking while attempting to prevent access to vapes for teens.

“While countries share the same challenges, policy and regulatory responses have been very different. This year's Summit will explore what lessons can be learned from each other and what the regulatory and policy priorities should be for a novel product category in the context of smoking, which remains the primary public health crisis,” they add.

The E-Cigarette Summit’s organisers state that the event has a single aim “of facilitating respectful dialogue and thoughtful analysis of the latest evidence and an opportunity to explore the science and how this should be interpreted to deliver the most effective public health and regulatory strategies.”
