About this presentation

Ensuring appropriate evidence-based policy and practice relating to e-cigarettes requires systematic identification, review and integration of large-scale contemporary evidence on their effects on health. This presentation reviews the global evidence on e-cigarettes and over 20 health outcome groups, including: dependence; cardiovascular disease; cancer; respiratory disease; poisoning; burns and injuries; mental health effects; and environmental hazards relevant to health.

The seminar will consist of a 30 minute presentation, with 15 minutes for questions.

This event is organised by the Tobacco Control Research Group.
