Last month tobacco control activists and public health professionals from across the country met for the National Conference on Tobacco and Vaping.
The conference is the premiere event for tobacco control in Canada. But all are not welcome at this event.
According to an Ontario Public Health Association rep, “the conference does not allow those with ties to tobacco or vaping industries to attend.”
One vaping advocate barred from the event is joining us today, Dr. John Oyston, a retired anesthesiologist and former associate professor at the University of Toronto.
Hear his thoughts on why conference organizers should pay more attention to their conflicts with big pharma than worrying about attendees who work on behalf of tobacco harm reduction.

I also applied to this conference, gave my smoking –> vaping history, my 100% consumer status, and my experience as an advocate. I didn’t even receive an acknowledgement!
