World Health Organization (WHO) and public health champions around the world are marking World No Tobacco Day this year by focusing on the many ways in which tobacco threatens the environment we live in.

The 2022 global campaign aims to raise public awareness about the environmental impact of the entire tobacco cycle, from its cultivation, production, and distribution to the toxic waste it generates. The campaign will also aim to expose the tobacco industry’s effort to greenwash its reputation and to make its products more appealing by marketing them as environmentally friendly.

In line with this topic, ACT - Alliance Contre le Tabac & ENSP - European Network for Smoking and Tobacco Prevention are pleased to invite you to the World No Tobacco Day Conference "Big Tobacco's Greenwashing - a threat for tobacco control in the EU", on Tuesday, 24th of May, in Brussels.

The conference will be held in Brussels from 9h30 to 16h30, and it will focus on the environmental impact of the tobacco industry & the strategy it uses to greenwash its actions.
