April 15 – 17, 2025

Agustin Rodriguez and Bryan Haynes will speak at the 2025 American Tobacco + Nicotine Forum, scheduled for April 15-17 in Arlington, Virginia.

Agustin Rodriguez will speak during the “The Legislative Landscape: State & Local Tobacco Policy Update” panel, scheduled for 9:00 – 9:50 a.m. on the 17th.

As state and local governments continue to shape the future of tobacco policy, industry stakeholders must stay ahead of rapidly evolving policies. This panel will provide a comprehensive update on key legislative and regulatory developments across the U.S., including proposed tax measures, flavor and product bans, and state directory bills. Experts will examine the impact and challenges of these policies on the industry and market as well as the emerging trends in enforcement and litigation.

Bryan Haynes will speak during the “Post-Market Surveillance: Balancing Innovation While Guarding Against Unintended Consequences” panel, scheduled for 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on the 17th.

This panel would discuss the role PMTA post-market authorization surveillance could play in helping get more FDA authorized smoke-free products to market while protecting against concerns about youth and non-users. Panelists could provide their perspectives on the best approach to improve public health, including the pros and cons of FDA implementing the precautionary principle vs. relying on post-market surveillance in making PMTA decisions.

Formerly known as the TMA Annual Meeting, Troutman Pepper Locke is proud to sponsor the opening reception of this year’s American Tobacco + Nicotine Forum.
