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:
Researchers, doctors, and community leaders are coming together at @CoeharUnict in Catania, #Italy to drive crucial #research on smoking reduction and cessation. Hear from the trailblazers: http://bit.ly/35BhlWr
Romita Shah discusses key findings from this year’s #ATISummit2019 in #Malawi. As she puts it, “the summit suggested that science, technology, and innovation will play a critical role in helping the agricultural sector in Malawi overcome its challenges.” http://bit.ly/35Zvblq
#DYK in 2016, Brazil, India, and China produced almost 64% of the world’s tobacco (about 10%, 11%, and 42%, respectively). Explore our report on Global Trends in Tobacco Production and Trade for more insightful takeaways. http://bit.ly/2NytTpP

We fund research on better cessation, safe harm reduction and biomarkers to predict benefits. Tested in large and diverse user groups. @WSJ
In a new blog post, David Janazzo discusses the importance of the upcoming Tobacco Transformation Index. The goal of this tool is to incentivize and monitor tobacco companies’ efforts towards a world free of high-risk tobacco products. http://bit.ly/2Y988Cb
