Tobacco has negative implications for the environment, the economy and the health of both smokers and non-smokers. All people have a fundamental right to breathe clean air, and tobacco-free environments are essential to guaranteeing this right. This includes protection in outdoor spaces. Whether sitting in class, playing games outside or waiting at the school bus stop, young people should be protected from second-hand smoke and e-cigarette emissions. The guide is intended to provide schools and their students with the necessary knowledge and tools to successfully adopt a nicotine-free and tobacco-free campus policy. This step-by-step guide suggests engaging activities, offers sample communications material and provides practical examples of schools worldwide that have implemented nicotine-free and tobacco-free campus policies.

It identifies the need for control and the many challenges this presents such as how to work within constitutional limits to promote the reduction of risks to health and the extent to which consumers should be entrusted with information to make their own informed choices.

Neuroscience of Nicotine: Mechanisms and Treatment presents the fundamental information necessary for a thorough understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of nicotine addiction and its effects on the brain. Offering thorough coverage of all aspects of nicotine research, treatment, policy and prevention, and containing contributions from internationally recognized experts, the book provides students, early-career researchers, and investigators at all levels with a fundamental introduction to all aspects of nicotine misuse. With an estimated one billion individuals worldwide classified as tobacco users—and tobacco use often being synonymous with nicotine addiction—nicotine is one of the world's most common addictive substances, and a frequent comorbidity of misuse of other common addictive substances. Nicotine alters a variety of neurological processes, from molecular biology, to cognition, and quitting is exceedingly difficult because of the number of withdrawal symptoms that accompany the process. - Integrates cutting-edge research on the pharmacological, cellular and molecular aspects of nicotine use, along with its effects on neurobiological function - Discusses nicotine use as a component of dual-use and poly addictions and outlines numerous screening and treatment strategies for misuse - Covers both the physical and psychological effects of nicotine use and withdrawal to provide a fully-formed view of nicotine dependency and its effects

This eighth report of the Study Group addresses electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS), electronic non-nicotine delivery system (ENNDS) and heated tobacco product (HTPs); however, it does not cover all aspects of these products, because many of the papers were written to meet the request of COP8, which was to review understanding on novel and emerging tobacco products (FCTC/COP8). Continued research is necessary on these products; the Study Group will cover other products of interest (including traditional products, such as waterpipes, cigarettes and smokeless tobacco) in its next report, guided by countries’ regulatory requirements and pertinent issues in tobacco product regulation. This will ensure continued, timely technical support to all countries and address all products, recognizing that their availability depends on the jurisdiction.
