Teema: 9th European Conference on Tobacco or Health (ECToH) Madrid 2023 -
Closing Ceremony
Dear Peep Peterson,
On the occasion of the celebration of the 9th edition of the European
Conference "Tobacco or Health", and on behalf of the Asociación
Española Contra el Cáncer, we are pleased to enclose the invitation
letter to the closing ceremony of the congress.
The closing ceremony of the 9th ECToH Madrid 2023, will take place on
April 28th at IFEMA.
In this congress we hope to contribute to a tobacco-free generation,
where less than 5% of the population will use tobacco by 2040, a goal set
in the European Cancer Plan (EBCP).
We would be honored if you could join us on such an important date and
thus give public visibility to your commitment.
We look forward to hearing from you and remain at your disposal for any
questions or further information you may require.
Kind regards!

Dear Peep Peterson,
We are contacting you to invite you to the 9th edition of the European Conference on Tobacco or
Health (ECToH) organized by the Spanish Association Against Cancer, the National Committee for
Smoking Prevention (CNPT) and the Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL) and which will take
place from April 26th to 28th, 2023 at IFEMA, Madrid, under the Honorary Presidency of H.M. the
Queen of Spain.
The conference is organized every three years and is internationally recognized as the main European
forum on tobacco control, with the participation of the main actors working in this field at national
and international level: health professionals, researchers, civil society representatives, media, public
managers and politicians committed to tobacco control as well as professionals from other sectors that
may have a relevant role in the health sector and more specifically in tobacco control.
Every year, more than 8 million people worldwide die from tobacco-related causes. More than 7
million of these deaths are due to direct tobacco consumption and about 1.5 million are due to
exposure of non-smokers to second-hand smoke. Despite this reality, the population does not perceive
the risk of developing cancer when inhaling this toxic smoke. However, it has been proven that this
smoke causes cancer as it contains more than 70 carcinogenic substances. The consequences for
health are obvious: they multiply the risk of developing lung cancer in adulthood and in the short term,
increase up to 50% the risk of otitis, 30% the risk of transmitting respiratory infections and 20% the
risk of suffering asthmatic crises.
For all these reasons, It is a privilege to invite you to the last day of the congress, which will take place
on April 28, 2023, and specifically to the closing ceremony that will take place at 11:00 am.
Undoubtedly, this is a significant event with which we hope to promote, from civil society, the
commitment of all Member States to achieve the first Tobacco Free Generation in Europe by the year
2040.
Hoping that you will find it interesting and that it will be possible for you to attend, I send you my
regards,
Dr. Ramón Reyes Prof. Rui Medeiros
