In collaboration with other like-minded organizations, the Foundation works to define which interventions and recommendations will accelerate and lead the global decline in adult smoking, with the ultimate goal of ending smoking in this generation. The Foundation recognizes that countries at different levels of economic development will need different solutions, and that advances in behavioral science and technology can play a key role in harm reduction relative to smoking.
As part of this work, the Foundation will often issue RFP’s to enlist needed support to accelerate the global decline in smoking. The Foundation also plans to develop private–public partnerships to harness the combined capabilities of various stakeholders committed to accelerating the end of smoking.
In his latest blog, Derek Yach notes, “In 2020, we must not only acknowledge that smoking persists as a pressing global health threat, but also adapt our tactics to address the ways in which this threat has evolved.” #AccelerateTransformation http://bit.ly/37ci1ma

New ASH & Cancer Research UK report:
"Local authorities which do not currently provide e-cigarette starter packs as part of their cessation offer should consider doing so to give local smokers the best possible chance to quit."
"Only" 11% do so now.
