A scientific society is blocking tobacco industry science experts from its annual conferences. Tobacco giant British American Tobacco wants that changed.
British American Tobacco’s (BAT) science chief, David O’Reilly, has urged the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) to reinstate the involvement of tobacco industry scientists to attend the group’s annual conference in 2022.
“BAT’s scientists have been proud to share their research at the SRNT Annual Meetings for many years,” he told SRNT leadership. “Our participation has helped advance tobacco and nicotine science to the benefit of the society, and ultimately, the public good.”
