Welcome Address

Welcome to ECToH 07!

T

obacco is the cause of some five million deaths worldwide every year, with some six-hundred and fifty thousand deaths in Europe alone. Tobacco use will be the cause of death of about ten per cent of all the people alive today. These harsh figures are the cornerstones of a global tragedy whose true dimensions cannot be imagined.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Among the focal points of the conference will be the presentation of new results on Health and Tobacco, Passive Smoking and Health, the state of implementation of the WHO Framework Convention (FCTC), and the relevance of products with reduced toxic effects. National programmes on Tobacco Prevention will be presented. Other issues will be Smoking

Basel is the venue of the 4th European Conference Tobacco or Health. It is a pleasure and an honour for Switzerland to organise this important event for the first time and to welcome you – tobacco prevention and control experts from over 40 European countries – on the bend of the river Rhine on the borders with France and Germany.

Tobacco consumption is the greatest single health risk of our time. It is the cause of thousands of premature deaths. It can and must be reduced. Because the global tobacco epidemic presents both challenges and opportunities, many countries – including several in Europe – have been taking steps to tighten tobacco control. The 2007 conference in Basel will present an overview of what has been achieved and what still needs to be done, an overview of successes and failures en route to a tobacco-free Europe. Where do we stand? What do we want to achieve? What does the situation with tobacco control in Europe look like at this point in time? Progressive and effective tobacco control requires high-level implementation in all European countries. This is particularly true in view of the expansion of the European Union and increasing economic and social cohesion among its member states.



The fight against health damages caused by the use of tobacco is high on the list of priorities in most European countries. In Switzerland, the political process to design stricter measures has been stimulated by the signature of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

and Youth, Smoking and Sports, as well as the tobacco industry’s strategies and impact on society. The goal is to transform knowledge into action and promote discourse between the worlds of science, public health, politics and the general public.

The authorities’ and the population’s acceptance to create new legal measures has increased tremendously. The ECToH 07 is therefore a timely and opportune occasion to share your knowledge and experience in the efforts to decrease the impact on public health caused by tobacco.

Stemming the global tobacco epidemic is a primordial political and social challenge. This conference will send out a resounding call to politicians: Europe must become tobacco-free! Together we will shoulder this responsibility. We therefore call on decision-makers of all European countries to push for Tobacco Control at home and throughout Europe. You are cordially invited to join us in your commitment to reach this goal. Come to Basel in 2007 to make yourself heard for Europe.

www.ectoh07.org

From the 11th to the13th of October, 2007, you will have the opportunity to share knowledge and experience from research and practice, establish and renew personal contacts and, hopefully, to be able to enjoy the beautiful region around Basel.

General Information

About the Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL) The Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL) is a federation of 29 national and regional cancer leagues representing 21 countries. Created in 1980, ECL provides a forum of exchange for information and the best practices, and connects the work and interests of cancer leagues in Europe. The mission of the ECL is to be a visible and effective player in cancer control and cancer care, in particular in Europe. The role of the ECL is to facilitate the collaboration between cancer leagues throughout Europe and to influence EU and pan-European policies. The central purpose of ECL is to establish common strategies in cancer control towards achieving health equity in cancer prevention, services, and treatment.

About the German Cancer Society The German Cancer Society e. V. is the largest scientific-oncological society with approximately 6,000 members in Germany. Three objectives stand in the center of our commitment: We want to lower the rate of new cancer victims through prevention, to increase the survival chances through early recognition of tumors as well as to improve the living quality of people with a cancer diagnosis through progress in research.



General Information Mainly through the work of our Tobacco Advocacy Officer, Luk Joossens, ECL is a globally-recognized player in tobacco control. Key activities include being involved in discussions with the European Tobacco Strategy Group; authoring the report “A public health perspective for the review of the EU tax policy on tobacco products”; promoting regular contact with EU officials; and being represented in international meetings related to tobacco control. ECL’s activities focus on timely topics for Europe. In 2007, in addition to Tobacco Control, other areas are Patient Support, National Cancer Control Plans, HPV Vaccines, and Patient Information. Roundtables to facilitate information exchange among leagues have also been organized on Skin Cancer, the Pharmaceutical Industry, and the Relay for Life event.

In accordance with our society’s motto “Through knowledge to life”, we attempt to achieve these objectives by distributing information about the complex topic of cancer, initiating health campaigns and supporting the oncological research. The service offered by the German Cancer Society e. V. is targeted towards doctors and scientists, patients and their relatives and towards any interested citizens. The German Cancer Society is an active Member of the Action Alliance Non-Smoking (Aktionsbündnis Nichtrauchen).

About the Swiss Cancer League The Swiss Cancer League is a national organization established under private law and dedicated to the public good. It is organized as a Federation and brings together 20 cantonal and regional leagues. The Swiss Cancer League, with headquarters in Bern, was founded in 1910 and employs 80 people, mostly on a part-time basis (status: January 2007). In line with its vision, the Swiss Cancer League works to ensure that • fewer people contract cancer, • fewer people suffer and die from the effects of cancer, • more people are cured of cancer and • the victims and their family members benefit from support and help in all phases of the illness and at the time of death. Information, direct advice and support, courses for patients and their family members, promotion of research, prevention and information campaigns, training opportunities for specialist personnel and others, are all priority measures. The Swiss Cancer League counts on the generosity of its donors to provide its wide-ranging services, most of which are provided free of charge. In Switzerland, some 34,000 people fall ill with cancer every year and more than 15,000 die from the disease. That figure represents one-quarter of all deaths. Many other people are also affected; behind each patient there is a network of family members and friends who worry about the health of their loved-ones. The more people who know the Swiss Cancer League is there to help them, the better they can benefit from its services and obtain the right advice for their own particular case.

The tobacco control scale. The measurement of tobacco control policies in 30 European countries in 2007. Exclusively published at the ECToH 07. Luk Joossens, European tobacco control expert, Belgium, will present the results of a survey of tobacco control activities in 30 European countries in 2007.

Luk Joossens will report on the tobacco control scores in the 30 countries, show the ranking of the 30 countries according to their tobacco control policy, compare them with the results of the 2005 survey, and discuss the changes and reasons for them.

The European tobacco control report 2007. Presented by Douglas Bettcher (WHO, Tobacco Free Initiative, Geneva, Switzerland) This report describes the situation of tobacco control and the status of tobacco control policies in the WHO European Region as of late 2006, reviews the progress made since Member States adopted the European Strategy for

Tobacco Control (ESTC) in 2002, establishes a baseline for monitoring the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in the Region and examines several additional aspects of the countries’ policies in the light of the requirements of the WHO FCTC.

Passive Smoking. National Health Officials Round Table. Report about the results of the Conference of the Parties to the FCTC concerning second-hand smoke (COP2): Noreen Leahy (Tobacco Control Unit, Ireland) Chair: • Witold Zatonski, Head of the Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention Warsaw, Poland Guests: • Rimvydas Turčinskas, Minister of Health, Lithuania • Daniela Galeone, Medical Officer of the Departement of Prevention, Ministry of Health, Italy • tba Given the fast pace of developments today, European countries that do not provide protection for their citizens against passive smoking in public places will soon form the exception. The tenacious battle has paid off. Since the publication of the first studies that showed the correlation between passive smoking and its damage to health, decades had passed before Ireland became the first European state to declare all workplaces smoke free. 12:30 – 13:30

There will never be a safe cigarette as the combustion process releases a host of toxic smoke components. This raises a fundamentally important question as to whether regulators should spend time and resources trying to modify cigarettes to make them less harmful or whether their efforts are best spent considering the range of possible nicotine delivery systems available with a view to ensuring that combustible nicotine products are not the dominant forms of nicotine delivery on the market in 20 years time. The role that non-combustible nicotine delivery products, and smokeless tobacco in particular, could have on public health remains a hot topic among tobacco control advocates. This debate will bring delegates up to date with the most recent evidence and arguments in this field.

 Friday, 12 October, 2007  Although the competition has some flexibility regarding the national rules so that details can be developed to suit the needs and circumstances of individual countries, the general rules are the same in each country: classes decide to be non-smoking for up to six months. Classes that refrain from smoking can win a number of attractive prizes, the main prize being a trip to another European country. The concept of the Smoke free Class Competition has also attracted other countries in Europe and worldwide, such as Switzerland and Canada.

Saturday, 13 OCTOBER, 2007  This session is aimed at providing an overview of the current state-of-the-art smoking-cessation interventions. Both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions will be discussed, as well as new innovative approaches, such as active immunization against nicotine by conjugate vaccines. This session will also provide an opportunity to discuss the challenges that are emerging, especially with respect to the methods used by professionals, both medical and non-medical, in the smoking-cessation field.

The objective of the session is to discuss the strengths and limitations of the competition, as well as possibilities for further improvements to the programme. 12:30 – 13:30

Tobacco marketing is linked with youth smoking because youth respond to aspirational figures and images presented in such material.

This session aims at projecting into the future of the tobacco industry.

Evidence supporting an association between tobacco marketing and youth smoking serves as the basis for controls on tobacco marketing contained in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), in which Article 13 recognizes that a comprehensive ban on tobacco marketing would reduce consumption. 

When analysing the behaviour of the tobacco industry, we have a natural tendency to be past-looking. This is probably largely due to our intensive use of internal tobacco industry documents, which date back decades, and which constitute a formidable instrument of analysis, without counterparts in other fields of investigation. 

Conference Program Saturday, 13 OCTOBER, 2007

 Saturday, 13 OCTOBER, 2007  However, a comprehensive ban on tobacco marketing would not limit movies and other entertainment venues from delivering images of smoking by famous actors to millions of adolescents world wide. Smoking contained in motion pictures is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to the smoking epidemic. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies involving several independent samples in the United States confirm a strong association between exposure to movie smoking and adolescent smoking initiation. Longitudinal studies in the United States indicate that exposure to smoking in movies may explain as much as half of youth smoking initiation there. These movies are distributed internationally, and this raises the question of how much movies contribute to smoking in other countries. In this plenary session, we will review the evidence that supports smoking in movies as a causal social influence, present new data from a survey of German adolescents, and discuss policy initiatives.

 This session will attempt to break away from this inclination and will aim at analyzing the future of the tobacco industry. How can we extrapolate this future from what we learn from our investigations into the past and current conduct of the industry? Are there underlying trends in their past conduct that we may use to make predictions on how the tobacco industry is likely to adapt and evolve in the future? Are there ontological invariants in this industry which may limit the range of the changes it is capable of undergoing as long as it remains itself, i.e. a group of profit-seeking enterprises? The social and political context in which the tobacco industry operates is evolving rapidly – the FCTC is now becoming a universally accepted instrument; some people already advocate going beyond the FCTC and regulating the tobacco industry to the point that it would be taken out of the free market economy. Given these developments, the authors, each from a different angle, will attempt to make predictions on the strategies the industry is likely to develop to counter this trend, delay the process or even try to turn it to its advantage.

Ethics and health are key values in today’s world of sports. Tobacco is one of the touchstones. Sport has to focus on health. Smoking and sport are not compatible with one another, as tobacco consumption curbs one’s ability to perform well in sports. Athletes that smoke are a bad example to young people and in a smoke-filled sport stadium, both the athletes and spectators suffer. Smoke-free sporting events, however, have still to become a matter of course. Despite the obvious repercussions, sporting events will continue to be used for the promotion of tobacco products. Focusing on tobacco, in this session sports physicians, sports association officials and athletes will discuss the ethical and health-related challenges in sport.

Final Event

Speakers: • Amanda Amos, Reader in Health Promotion University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. TOPIC: “Developing gender-sensitive approaches to tobacco control – opportunities and challenges” • Sara Sanchez, Health Professionals Against Tobacco, Stockholm, Sweden TOPIC: “A women and gender perspective of the framework convention for tobacco control” • Margaretha Haglund, National Institute of Public Health, Stockholm, Sweden TOPIC: “Women’s smoking in Europe: past, present and future” The session will provide an overview of the tobacco use prevalence trends among women, current activities being conducted in European countries to address tobacco use related to the status of women, and gender-baised policy in tobacco control. In general, prevalence is decreasing among women in western Europe, yet increasing among those in Eastern European countries. In Western countries, the effects of high prevalence some years ago demonstrated an increase in tobacco-related disease onset and continued tobacco use by the poorest of the population. In light of this, countries in the European region have implemented initiatives to combat these problems. For example, INWAT-Europe formed to analyse and develop recommendations for countries to implement initiatives targeted by gender. Policy development at the European level has not always taken gender into account. Yet, there exist several steps to incorporate gender-based analysis into policy. Today, the FCTC acts as a tool for those countries that have ratified it to develop gender provisions in every article. Objectives: To provide the audience with: a) An overview of prevalence rates among women in Europe b) Examples of tobacco control initiatives which take into account gender and the status of women c) Incorporating gender-based analysis into tobacco control policy  Room: San Francisco

The leading role of the European Commission and the European Parliament in the fight against tobacco is strongly welcomed. Indeed, initiatives such as the compulsory introduction of warning messages, the possibility of introducing pictorial warnings on tobacco products, EU legislation banning tobacco advertising as well as the recent Commission consultation entitled “Towards a Europe free from tobacco smoke: Policy options at EU level” represent important milestones in the fight against tobacco and its devastating effects in Europe.

In recognition of this European “first”, the European Cancer Leagues and the International Diabetes Federation supported the organisation of the first exhibition on “The Power of Communications Against Tobacco” in Brussels in January 2007 with the support of Jules Maaten, MEP and EP Rapporteur on the founding legislation in 2001 and Markos Kyprianou, European Commissioner for Health. This exhibition is devoted to displaying the pictorial warnings available for use in Belgium and other EU member states in the future. Also displayed are warnings currently in use around the world in countries such as Canada, Singapore, Brazil, Australia and Thailand. “The Power of Communications Against Tobacco” exhibition is supported by Pfizer.

Basel is the main city of Switzerland’s northwestern region and forms the bridgehead from Germanspeaking Switzerland to the European Union. The city offers a unique range of culture and art, and possesses one of Europe’s most attractive and best-preserved old towns. The city covers an area of 37 square kilometres. Even the beautiful nearby regions can be reached in next to no time: The Jura, the Vosges and the Black Forest are all conveniently close by.

bend where the northern districts of Greater Basel now extend. Basel Basilea first received a mention in Roman history in 374 AD. In about 450 the Alemanni arrived. At the end of the 5th century Basel came into Frankish possession, then in 912 it passed to Burgundy, and in 1032 went with the latter to become part of the German Empire. Basel is a traditional traffic junction. The city lies at the crossroads of the north-south and east-west rail systems; its EuroAirport Basel-MulhouseFreiburg provides connections to the European and international airline networks.

History In the canton of Basel-Stadt, separated from its adjacent rural half-canton since 1833, the same legislative and executive authorities are the government of both the canton and the cantonal capital. The two rural municipalities Riehen and Bettingen have their own municipal authorities. Basel’s foundation goes back to the first century BC, when the earliest fortified settlements were built on the Minster Mount. But a settlement had existed even earlier, in Celtic times, on the Rhine

Climate Its position in the Rhine valley gives Basel an exceptionally mild climate, influenced as it is by Mediterranean air currents that flow up from the Rhone valley through the Belfort Gap. As a result, compared with the Swiss midlands, Basel enjoys an above-average amount of sunshine and only rarely disappears in autumn fog. Weather in October in Basel can be humid and rather nippy (~10° Celsius).

Smokefree Friday. October 12, 2007. Most public buildings are now no-smoking zones. To help ensure restaurants also become smoke-free, we submitted citizens’ initiatives to the cantonal governments of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft in August 2007. And now we’re asking, when will the buildings of cultural institutions be smoke-free? All cultural event organizers in the Basle region are invited to Smokefree Friday. The main event will take place on the Rhine and on the cultural event ferry «Das Schiff». We’re working to protect people from passive smoking! www.smokefreefriday.ch
