Tobacco

Tobacco continues to be the largest avoidable health risk in the European Union. It is responsible for many respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In 2018 we brought the patient views to the International Conference of the European Network for Smoking Prevention (ENSP), of which we are an associate member, where we updated our knowledge on the current tobacco market and tobacco control issues. During the event, we initiated links with the global community seeking to advance to control legislation underpinning human right values.
