The ERS Tobacco Control Committee coordinates the European Respiratory Society’s (ERS) activities on tobacco control at every level.
The committee works with professionals who are on the frontline in hospitals, clinics and universities; at the European level, with an office to monitor tobacco control; and at the international level through global conferences and membership of organisations such as the Framework Convention Alliance.
The committee has developed strong partnerships with cancer and heart organisations and encouraged a strict code of conduct for relations with the tobacco industry for ERS members.
