European Conference on Tobacco or Health

The European Conference on Tobacco or Health (ECToH) is held every three years and unites over 600 influential advocates, researchers, academics, non-governmental organisations, civil society, scientists, healthcare professionals and public officials working on all aspects of tobacco control from around Europe.

The 9th ECToH took place from 26 to 28 April 2023 in Madrid, with the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) and the National Committee on Tobacco Prevention (CNPT) as the hosts of the Congress. This year’s ECToH focused on younger generations, promoting health equity in tobacco prevention and setting as the main goal a Tobacco-Free Generation where less than 5% of the population uses tobacco by 2040. This is the objective established within the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), approved by the European Parliament in February 2021.
