The upcoming Conference of Parties (COP10), to be held in Panama from November 20 to 25, 2023, is an opportunity for the Tobacco industry to learn from each other on how best to implement Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) efforts and lobby for the adoption of novel nicotine products, industry experts have said.

Speaking during a Fireside Chat at the recent Global Nicotine and Tobacco Forum in South Korea, Flora Okereke, BAT's Head of Regulatory Insights and Foresights said the upcoming COP10 was different and provides fertile ground for discussions around THR and the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control .

“That particular provision seems to suggest that apart from the demand side and handling the supply side, it is possible for countries to explore other alternatives of reducing smoking in the direction of Tobacco Harm Reduction. That provision has never once been elaborated on or talked about in COP. At this stage, when we now have an array of reduced risk products substantiated by science, it is a good time to start the conversation.

She outlined that the best way to advocate for the industry’s science-led position was to influence and inform lawmakers and delegates so they can make a balanced judgment. Since harm reduction is a technology, science, and innovation issue, she argued, those actors responsible for these areas ought to have a say at COP10 and beyond.
