MEET THE PROTAGONISTS
In these two series of interviews specially produced for Tobacco-free Europe, key protagonists in the European fight against tobacco discuss their experiences in working for a smoke-free environment.
They provide valuable insights on many issues, including the use of social marketing and research, gaining political and public support, ensuring that data is available and used in policy-making and involving the media in the fight for successful legislation on tobacco control.
These videos facilitate the sharing of valuable advice, experience and anecdotes.

What role does this play in policy-making; how do researchers and civil servants present data at ministry level; should research precede or respond to legislation; what is the role of academic institutions?
