WHO is stepping up measures to help reduce tobacco use.

Tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable deaths, claiming the lives of 8.7 million people annually, including 1.3 million deaths from secondhand smoke.

In late July 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that only four countries – Brazil, Mauritius, the Netherlands, and Turkey – had adopted all the recommended anti-tobacco measures in the fight against this dangerous form of smoking.

The WHO is urging countries to expand the adoption of measures to reduce tobacco use, including banning advertising, printing health warnings on tobacco packaging, increasing tobacco taxes, and supporting those who want to quit smoking.
