Smokers in many countries are witnessing rapid changes consequent to to the introduction of new reduced-risk products, or due to changes in product prices or regulations. It is important to have up-to-date data available and analyzable at national and subnational levels to track progress and to help guide the actions of consumers, regulators, and other stakeholders. To continually refine the Foundation’s activities, we seek to identify data gaps in tobacco research.
We address these data gaps by commissioning:
Dr. Kgosi Letlape discussed some of the many reasons that global efforts to end smoking have stalled on @eNCA. Dr. Kgosi is a member of the International Commission to Reignite the #FightAgainstSmoking. For more about the Commission Report, click here: https://fightagainstsmoking.org/

In #Pakistan, more than 160,000 people die annually from tobacco-related illness. Lack of cessation aids are intensifying the use of combustible cigarettes in the country. For more on the health & economic consequences of #tobacco in Pakistan click here:

It is simply unacceptable that global consumption of #cigarettes is the same today as it was 30 years ago. The International Commission was created to consider new solutions for preventing deaths from tobacco use. #FightAgainstSmoking https://www.fightagainstsmoking.org/
As @thegtnf comes to a close, a panel on investment will continue the dialogue on the impact investors have on #tobacco companies. For more on the path ahead, explore the Tobacco Transformation Index: https://tobaccotransformationindex.org/
