The fourth annual e-cigarette conference is coming up on November 17 at the Royal Society building in London. Amidst the debate and differing opinions surrounding e-cigarette products, the annual event provides a neutral space for discussion and information exchange between attendees and members.
This is an invaluable opportunity for professionals and interested individuals to participate and witness the debate between two opposing perspectives, while also being informed about the latest research and most of the scientific evidence surrounding this product directly from the researchers themselves. This event is of great benefit to those with a direct interest in the environment and public health, such as regulators and legislators, doctors and nurses, individuals from smoking cessation facilities, vaping industry stakeholders and scientific researchers.

What will they discuss?
The e-cigarette conference will address key issues that have been circulating in the anti-vaping community, such as the infamous “pipeline” theory, the infiltration of Big Tobacco into the vaping world that casts a larger shadow over the hated industry. Other topics that will be discussed include the role of advertising and marketing around the product, its use in public spaces, and the role e-cigarettes can play in ending the tobacco-related health crisis.
Following a detailed list of points to be discussed, all questions and queries are welcomed and addressed in an open and objective manner.
- How much safer is vaping than smoking - including long-term use.
- How we define the “harm” of e-cigarettes to public health.
- Will stricter regulations protect public health and create safer products?
- Do e-cigarettes help people quit smoking? Should they be regulated?
- What does the evidence say about the “path to tobacco” hypothesis?
- Does vape smoke affect the health of non-users?
- Public Health Response to E-Cigarettes.
- If e-cigarettes are so good, why don't smokers use them?
Golden opportunity
Events like this are where trusted information is exchanged, and where change begins. This conference provides a safe platform and the perfect opportunity for scientists, regulators, and e-cigarette companies to meet, network, and share knowledge and information. Through this, we hope to build a consensus on the right path for e-cigarette regulation.
