Legacy's Kenneth E. Warner Lecture Series draws a wide national audience of forward-thinkers, leaders and policymakers. As part of our "Ripple Effect" outreach initiative, the thought-provoking dialogue that starts here is shaping how public health and tobacco control advocates approach our collective mission to end the tobacco epidemic.

The series is named in honor of Dr. Kenneth E. Warner, a founding Legacy Board Member, Professor and former Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan and a well-respected national leader in tobacco control.

We've hosted more than 1,000 attendees both in person and online for these highly-anticipated events. Our hope is that they inspire collaboration and help lay the seeds for the next generation of tobacco control policies.

On June 11, Legacy hosted the second in a series of thought leader discussions delving deeper into the findings and recommendations from the Surgeon General’s 50th Anniversary Report on the Health Consequences of Smoking. This Warner Series lecture focused on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s regulation of tobacco products in order to reduce tobacco product addictiveness and harmfulness.
