The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction (GSTHR) has released a new series of briefing papers, with a focus on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) Conference of Parties (COP9), in advance of its forthcoming report. International experts from tobacco control, drug policy and nicotine consumer advocacy will speak at report launch, with livestreaming free and open to all.
The GSTHR project is produced with the help of a grant from the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World, a US non-profit 501(c)(3). Its independence is guaranteed under US law, as it must operate independently of its donors. The project and its outputs are, under the terms of the grant agreement, editorially independent of the Foundation.
The GSTHR project is run by Knowledge·Action·Change (K·A·C) which “promotes harm reduction as a key public health strategy grounded in human rights. The team has over forty years of experience of harm reduction work in drug use, HIV, smoking, sexual health, and prisons.”
GSTHR maps the development of tobacco harm reduction and the use, availability and regulatory responses to safer nicotine products, as well as smoking prevalence and related mortality, in over 200 countries and regions around the world.
