Description
This investigation looks into scientific findings and expertise in the context of tobacco and nicotine control policies in Europe. Bringing together journalists and researchers, the project explores the ways science is used, interpreted, and communicated in policy debates. Its goal is to shed light on the complex relationship between scientific evidence, regulation, and public health.
“Industry-funded science is never neutral. We like to believe it doesn’t matter who pays for research – yet science itself shows that it does.” — Luc Hagenaars
