Book excerpt: A meeting on cigarette ventilation was held in Bilthoven, Netherlands, on 18–19 November 2019, hosted by the Government of The Netherlands and the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and convened by the Secretariat of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and WHO. The meeting was held pursuant to decision FCTC/COP8(21) of the Eighth Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP8) to the WHO FCTC on implementation of Articles 9 and 10 of the Convention, in which the COP requested the Convention Secretariat to hold a meeting on cigarette ventilation with WHO. The aim of the meeting was to review the latest available scientific evidence on the impact of cigarette ventilation on cigarette use and review background papers on cigarette ventilation and its potential and actual impact on cigarette use to provide regulators with better understanding of the use of ventilation in cigarettes. It was also intended to provide evidence that could be used in further strengthening implementation of Articles 9 and 10 by the Parties to the Convention and the relevant Partial Guidelines.
