Eyewitness – GFN 2017
The 4th annual Global Forum on Nicotine

The 4th annual Global Forum in Nicotine was held in Warsaw from 15-17 June and has been widely hailed as the best GFN yet. Please visit the GFN website to view the presentation slides – the videos and reports will be posted on there too.

We asked six people for their impressions of the conference: the aim of this piece is to give a flavour of the event.

Many thanks to Clive Bates, Sharon Cox, Charles Hamshaw-Thomas, Nancy Sutthoff, David Sweanor and Terry Walker for taking the time to write these fascinating accounts......
