The Tobacco Dependence Program (TDP) is dedicated to reducing the harm to health caused by tobacco use. The TDP particularly aims to provide expertise on quitting smoking for those who need it most.
We do this through education, treatment, research and advocacy.
 
This conference commemorated the 40 years since the 1964 Surgeon General’s Report on smoking and health. It explored what has changed since then and proposed methods of tackling the challenges that remain.
