OTRU

OTRU contributed to two narrative reviews examining the history and future of Canadian tobacco control. Lead by Elizabeth Eisenhauer, we reviewed progress for the Tobacco Endgame in Canada and outline progress and new challenges that have emerged since the Tobacco Endgame Initiative. Secondly, we review the history of flavour regulations in Canada, leadership of NGOs, and lessons for other jurisdictions. Finally, with the ICPS project team, Pam Kaufman and Michael Chaiton examine the levels of exposure to cannabis smoke inside the home and how it varies across jurisdictions.
