Tobacco 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pascal CouchepinSwiss Federal Councillor, Minister of Health

The tobacco control scale. The measurement of tobacco control policies in 30 European countries in 2007. The latest survey exclusively published at the ECToH 07 presented by Luk Joossens, European tobacco control expert, Leuven, Belgium, in collaboration with ENSP

Passive Smoking. Health Ministers Round Table.

Chair: Witold Zatonski, Head of the Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention Warsaw, Poland

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 fi rst studies that showed the correlation between passive smoking and its damage to health, decades had passed before Ireland became the fi rst European state to declare all workplaces smoke free. What were the key factors that caused governments to take action? Why did it take so long for the fi rst governments to enact a law that provided all-round protection from passive smoking in public areas? What lessons can be learnt from previous experiences? How can the process be accelerated in the countries that are lagging behind? During the Round Table, Health Ministers will look back on the successful policies of their own countries and discuss these and further questions.



The content of parallel sessions will be based on the Abstract Submission Categories and the Submitted Abstracts. Please refer to page 14 to get more information regarding the Call for Abstracts.

Smoking & Youth:The smoke free class competition?

Organiser:Reiner Hanewinkel, Head of the Institute for Therapy and Health Research, Kiel, Germany

Chair:Elisabeth Tamang, President of European Net-work on Smoking Prevention (ENSP), Venice, Italy

Speakers:• Gudrun Wiborg (invited), Head of the

Department of Prevention and Health Promotion, Kiel, Germany

• Erkki Vartiainen (invited), Director of the Department of Epidemiology and Health Promotion, Helsinki, Finland

• Jean-François Etter, Project Director Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Geneva, Switzerland

• Holger Schmid, Director of Research, Swiss Institute for the Prevention of Alcohol and drug problems, Lausanne, Switzerland

The Smoke free Class Competition is a school-based smoking prevention campaign targeting pupils aged 11 to 14. The programme is co-funded by the European Community, and 19 EU member states currently run the programme in their countries. Although the competition has some fl exibility 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. 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.

• Nancy Rigotti, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the MGH Tobacco Research and Treatment Center, Boston, USA

Clinical research has recently yielded substantial fi ndings relating to the treatment of tobacco dependence, such as combination-drug therapies and longer-term pharmacotherapy. New drugs have been approved for smoking cessation (e.g., varenicline). Furthermore, new molecules are under development for clinical application. 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 fi eld.

Tobacco marketing is linked to youth smoking, and this serves as the basis for controls on tobacco marketing contained in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) Article 13 of the FCTC recognizes that a comprehensive ban on tobacco marketing would reduce consumption.

However, a comprehensive ban on tobacco marketing would not limit movies and other entertainment venues from projecting glamorous images of smoking. Smoking contained in motion pictures is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to the smoking epidemic.

Longitudinal studies indicate that exposure to smoking in movies may explain as much as half of youth smoking in the United States. 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 infl uence, present new data from a survey of German adolescents, and discuss a novel policy initiative – a ban on smoking in Bollywood movies being deployed by the Indian Health Ministry.

This session aims at projecting into the future of the tobacco industry. 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 fi elds of investigation. 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 profi t-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.

Smoke-free Sports

Organisers:• Verena El Fehri, Head of Arbeitsgemeinschaft

Tabakprävention, Bern, Switzerland• Reto Wiesli, Head of Fachstelle

Gesundheitspolitik, Bern, Switzerland

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.

Women & Tobacco

Organisers:• Martina Pötschke-Langer, Head of the WHO

Collaborating Centre on Tobacco Control at DKFZ, Heidelberg, Germany

• Margaretha Haglund, President/Head of the Tobacco Control, Swedish National Institute of Public Health, Stockholm, Sweden

Chair:Martina Pötschke-Langer, Head of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Tobacco Control at DKFZ, Heidelberg, Germany

Athletes that smoke are a bad example to young people and in a smoke-fi lled 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 offi cials and athletes will discuss the ethical and health-related challenges in sport.

Speakers: • Amanda Amos, Reader in Health Promotion

University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Topic: “Developing gender sensitive approaches- opportunities and challenges?”

• Sara Sanchez, Health Professionals Against Tobacco, Stockholm, Sweden

• Margaretha Haglund, National Institute of Public Health, Stockholm, Sweden

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 Europe countries. In Western countries, the effects of high prevalence some years ago demonstrate an increase in tobacco-related disease onset and continued tobacco use by the poorest of the population. In light of this, countries and 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 ratifi ed it to develop gender provisions in every article.

Objectives: To provide the audience with:a) An overview of prevalence rates among women in Europeb) Examples of tobacco control initiatives which take into account gender and the status of womend) Incorporating gender-based analysis into tobacco control policy

Description of the city

Basel, the third largest city in Switzerland with roughly 190,000 inhabitants and a 2,000-year history, is located on the bend of the Rhine, bordering France and Germany.

Basel is the main city of Switzerland’s northwestern region and forms the bridgehead from German-speaking 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.

fHistoryIn 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

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-Mulhouse-Freiburg provides connections to the European and international airline networks.

fClimateIts 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).

Safety Suggestions

Switzerland is said to be a very safe place. We advise general safety precautions.

Electricity

Small appliances of non-Swiss manufacture such as shavers and hairdryers often require a converter and plug adapter. However, many hotels provide a hairdryer. The standard domestic voltage is 220 volts.

Currency / Means of payment / Banks / Tipping

fCurrencyThe national currency is the Swiss franc (1 CHF = 100 centimes). Banknotes come in the denominations 1,000.–, 200.–, 100.–, 50.–, 20.– and 10.–, while the coins in circulation are 5.–, 2.–, 1.–, –.50, –.20, –.10 as well as –.05. (Conversion: 1 CHF = approx. 0.63 €- as of 10/06).

fMeans of paymentEveryday consumer goods and minor purchases are usually paid in cash. In addition to the Swiss franc, some stores also accept the Euro.

Other means of payment such as credit cards, EC cards or post offi ce cards are also widely used. Cash can be withdrawn from automatic tellers at banks or post offi ce branches.
