About the Event

The R Street Institute and the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) invite you to a cocktail reception celebrating a landmark public health achievement: U.S. smoking rates have never been lower, and smart policy has played a crucial role. But there’s more work to do.

Join us to recognize the 119th Congressional Tobacco Harm Reduction Caucus, a bipartisan effort established to promote policies supporting alternatives to combustible cigarettes. 

Enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres while connecting with R Street and PPI experts and other invited guests for conversation on the contemporary state of tobacco control, including the unique role of reduced-risk nicotine products—alongside prevention and cessation treatment—in ending smoking.

This reception has been designed to conform to House and Senate Ethics rules.
