E cigarettes:history, evidence and policy (360G-Wellcome-209524_Z_17_Z)

The role and regulation of electronic cigarettes is currently a matter of widespread public and policy debate . Forms of regulation have varied by country even though the scientific research is common to all countries . What has led to this disjuncture between science and policy? This project builds on existing discussion and preliminary examinations of the subject from the three initial collaborating countries, the UK, the US and Australia. These three countries have taken a different national stance to e cigarettes regulation and harm reduction through nicotine. Our hypothesis is that these divergences build on historical differences between the 3 countries over tobacco and in health policy more generally. Our key goals are: 1.To undertake outline research in the three countries according to a common format to examine the recent science policy relationship in the area of e cigarettes . 2. To hold a workshop in the UK involving public health interests and policy makers involved with e cigarettes to feed into the research. 3.To hold a meeting of country participants in London to discuss research outlines, develop an initial publication and a plan for a funded programme of comparative historical policy research in a wider range of countries.
