Harvard and Propel share insights on tobacco control

Speakers, including Ryan Kennedy–a scientist at Waterloo’s Propel Centre for Population Health Impact who’s doing a research stint at the Harvard centre, discussed issues ranging from children being encouraged to pick up the habit to people exposed to second-hand smoke, and the importance of using scientific research to influence tobacco-control policy.
