This article presents a transformative abolitionist public health framework, grounded in Indigenous-led principles of sovereignty, truth-telling, love, and justice. It aims to dismantle the structural drivers of harm perpetuated by the industry. We centre abolition as a moral and ethical imperative, but also as a practical necessity to uphold the human right to health, restore Indigenous authority, and eliminate systems that commodify addiction and death. Drawing on Indigenous health paradigms and abolitionist theory, we outline practical, policy-facing pathways to abolition. These include divesting from harm, reinvesting in care, defunding industry influence, and embedding reparative justice. Examples include legal liability mechanisms, profit caps, truth-telling commissions, trade reform, and Indigenous-led health infrastructure. We distinguish abolition from prohibition, framing it as a strategic, relational, and system-wide response that invests in life-affirming alternatives rather than punitive control. At the heart of this framework is love, a radical commitment to healing, collective well-being, and restoring power and agency to communities most harmed. Rather than placing responsibility on individuals, this framework offers a systems-wide approach to public health that targets the structural drivers of harm. This article contributes a new model for health-generative public policy, advancing abolition as an urgent strategy for equity, truth, and planetary and human health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daaf103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]],"date-time":"2025-07-25T09:09:17Z","timestamp":1753434557000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Building love and justice, ending harms: a framework for abolishing the tobacco and nicotine industry"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2770-0686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raglan","family":"Maddox","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bagumani (Modewa) Clan, Yardhura Walani, National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, The Australian National University (ANU) , 54 Mills Rd, Canberra, ACT 2602 ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shane Kawenata","family":"Bradbrook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ng\u0101i T\u0101manuhiri, Rongowhakaata, Ng\u0101ti Kahungunu , Aotearoa ,","place":["New Zealand"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1093\/pubmed\/fdz004","article-title":"The failure of the UK to tax adequately tobacco company profits","volume":"42","author":"Branston","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Public Health"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Review of tobacco use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.","volume":"20","author":"Colonna","year":"2020","journal-title":"Aust Indig Health Bull"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3032018","DOI":"10.17061\/phrp3032018","article-title":"The WHO framework convention on tobacco control\u2013time for a civil society equivalent?","volume":"30","author":"Daube","year":"2020","journal-title":"Public Health Res Pract"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B4","first-page":"1","article-title":"Tobacco industry \u2018transformation\u2019\u2013more smoke and mirrors?","author":"Dell","year":"2022","journal-title":"Public Health Expert Brief"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"739","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.4682.739","article-title":"Smoking and carcinoma of the lung","volume":"2","author":"Doll","year":"1950","journal-title":"Br Med J"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B6","volume-title":"Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California","author":"Gilmore","year":"2007"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B7","volume-title":"Change Everything: Racial Capitalism and the Case for Abolition","author":"Gilmore","year":"2021"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"423","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2009.034470","article-title":"The case for OFSMOKE: how tobacco price regulation is needed to promote the health of markets, government revenue and the public","volume":"19","author":"Gilmore","year":"2010","journal-title":"Tob Control"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1029","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)60312-9","article-title":"Exposing and addressing tobacco industry conduct in low-income and middle-income countries","volume":"385","author":"Gilmore","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1208","DOI":"10.1108\/JFC-02-2023-0021","article-title":"The contagion of corruption: a model for understanding systemic ethical failures.","volume":"30","author":"Gilsinan","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Financ Crime"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1160","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.4976.1160","article-title":"Lung cancer and tobacco.","volume":"1","author":"Hill","year":"1956","journal-title":"Br Med J"},{"key":"2025072505311027700_daaf103-B12","first-page":"1","article-title":"Tobacco industry interference: is the new Government meeting its international obligations?
