Switching to safer nicotine products could be a life-saving intervention for millions of people currently using high-risk tobacco products like combustible cigarettes.
Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction (GSTHR) maps the global, regional and national availability and use of safer nicotine products, regulatory responses to them, and the public health potential of tobacco harm reduction (THR).
THR reports
Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2024: A Situation Report was published in November 2024. GSTHR’s fourth biennial report uses the latest evidence and new data projections to assess the current global THR situation as well as its potential to rapidly reduce tobacco-related disease and mortality.
