The World Congress on Tobacco or Health<\/a>, which will be held on 7-9 March in Cape Town, South Africa, has announced its late breaker sessions, which showcase the latest research and innovations in tobacco control.<\/p>\n

Highlights include a session on New and Local Evidence to Advance Tobacco Control in Africa<\/a>, which will be held on 9th<\/sup> March at 15:45, as well as e-poster sessions on smokeless tobacco<\/a>, exposure to second-hand aerosol from e-cigarettes<\/a> and tobacco farming and alternative livelihoods<\/a>.<\/p>\n
