Eudoxa: Ingdahl in Madrid- the beginning

October 30, 2007

Waldemar Ingdahl was invited to attend the Society for Nicotine and Tobacco Research's conference in Madrid, Spain between October 3-6 and blogged from the event.

Starting from the preseminar, Ingdahl describes Mitchell Zeller's speech on the rapid development of new nicotine delivery systems, about Dorothy Hatsukami discussing the scientific background of harm reduction, the World Health Organization's policy on tobacco in the future, their unexpected change of policy, Martin Jarvis talked about the current status quo in tobacco policy and why it is unacceptable, Karl Olov Fagerström gave some developments from Sweden and also broadened the issue of addiction, rounding off with Michael Fiore we see that public health will center on the issue of compairing Sweden vs. US, but in an unexpected fashion.

More updates will follow on Eudoxa's harm reduction BBS
