Talk Description
There is increasing attention being paid to the significant harms caused by industries that produce harmful products, such as tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, ultra-processed food, sugary drinks, and gambling. Governments worldwide are working to reduce these harms in order to improve population and planetary health. As a result, these industries are intensifying their efforts to influence public policy and maintain profitability.

Children are sitting ducks, caught in the crossfire. Join Professor Michelle Jongenelis as she explores the ways in which children have been targeted by harmful industries and the tactics being used by these industries to keep people in ill health.
