The 10th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP10) to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) takes place in Panama, November 20–25, 2023.
Discussions and decisions at these meetings influence tobacco control policies at a national level. These decisions will be significant in determining the future of safer nicotine products (SNP), such as nicotine vapes (e-cigarettes), snus, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products (HTP). The availability of these products is crucial to realise the public health potential of tobacco harm reduction (THR) in global efforts to combat smoking-related death and disease.
