Extract
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Tobacco Control Committee (TCC) has a key role in coordinating ERS activities related to tobacco control. In addition to working across ERS Assemblies, it monitors the implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control by European Union (EU) member states, and works with international organisations such as the Framework Convention Alliance. As the incoming chair of the ERS TCC, this article highlights my personal view on the areas to be addressed by the TCC over the next 3 years.
