Project Description
ENSP is an international non-profit organization established in 1997 under Belgian law to develop a concerted action strategy among the bodies involved in the fight against smoking in Europe through the exchange of information and experience and through coordinated activities and joint projects. The ENSP aims to create greater coherence between smoking prevention activities and to promote comprehensive tobacco control policies at both national and European level.
As a result of the mission and the work of ENSP is the EPACTT project.
