About Tænketanken Røgfri
An independent voice in the health debate
The Røgfri think tank is an independent voice in the Danish health debate. Our goal is to strengthen and inform the Danish public debate on health policy. To this end, we collaborate with researchers, decision-makers, civil society, and the business community to promote prevention and harm reduction in Denmark.

Arm's length and independence
Tænketanken Røgfri is funded by the nicotine industry, but operates independently of the industry association and its members. Therefore, the Think Tank’s members are bound solely by their own personal convictions, health expertise, and the best available evidence.
