I am deeply saddened by the loss of Neil Collishaw and feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. As both a mentor and leader, Neil inspired me and countless others in the tobacco control community throughout the years. He wasn’t just a professional who excelled in his field; he was a person deeply committed to the cause and genuinely cared about the impact of his work.

Neil, I have no doubt that your friends and colleagues will carry on the fight. You have taught us well, inspired us, and we will continue, honouring your legacy. The world is undoubtedly a safer, healthier, and happier place because of you.
