Wales Tobacco or Health Network (WTHN)

The Wales Tobacco or Health Network (WTHN) is a dynamic and inclusive platform that brings together individuals and organisations with a shared commitment to tackling tobacco harm and addressing health inequalities in Wales. This annual gathering fosters collaboration, sparks innovative ideas, and drives forward informed strategies to create a healthier, smokefree Wales.

What Is The WTHN?

The WTHN is an engaging conference that unites a diverse range of stakeholders—from academics and healthcare professionals to frontline workers and community advocates. The event is a space for exploring challenges, sharing evidence-based insights, and developing practical solutions to national and local tobacco control actions.

Each year, the WTHN focuses on pressing topics such as:

  • Expanding smoke-free spaces.

  • Tackling illegal tobacco.

  • E-cigarettes and smoking cessation tools.

  • Smoking in pregnancy and its impact on health inequalities.

  • Mental health and smoking cessation.
