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:
2020 Briefing Paper - Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction Millions of lives will be saved if the recommendations of this report are implemented! We could #endsmoking if we got behind the ideas here. @SmokeFreeFdn @INNCOorg @WHO https://gsthr.org/report/2020-briefing-paper
Almost 70% of smokers in the U.S. want to quit & nearly half have tried to quit in the last year. Only about 4% will be successful. The 2018 EY Parthenon report shows that solutions on the market only help a small percentage of smokers quit. #CessationSGR http://bit.ly/2S5ogDy
Creating a smoke-free world will require innovation and tailored approaches to cessation. We hope the Smoking Cessation: A Report of the Surgeon General will spur much-needed action in this field. See the Foundation’s full statement here. http://bit.ly/2RIX3op
The true cost of a cigarette goes beyond the price tag. Smallholder tobacco farmers face a shifting tobacco market and must identify #AlternativeLivelihoods. http://bit.ly/300BmDf
