Well done to UK Govt for committing to funding FCTC 2030 project for next 3 years at #FCTCOP11.
🌎We should be as committed to creating a smokefree planet as we are to creating a smokefree country. This work is vital for ending the 7 million deaths caused by smoking globally.

In Southwest Asia, oral products such as gutka, pan, and zarda are common — and deadly. They need risk reduced options that deliver the same satisfaction with a fraction of the harm. #FCTCOP11 #THRworks #HealthForAll

Evidence shows that balanced, harm-reduction policies can dramatically lower disease rates. It’s time to rethink tobacco control — with compassion and evidence at the core. #FCTCOP11 #THRworks #HealthForAll

Every year, nearly millions of people in Asia die from tobacco-related diseases. Yet safer nicotine products remain banned, and no cessation services or NRTs are available in many countries. Policies that ban innovation don’t protect lives — they prolong harm. #FCTCOP11 #THRworks #HealthForAll

Nicotine isn’t carcinogenic.
The danger lies in *smoke*, not the substance.
Denying access to these nicotine isn’t protection — it’s neglect. #FCTCOP11 #THRworks #HealthForAll

The WHO endorses harm reduction for HIV, drugs, and alcohol — but not for tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death. That’s not science. It’s ideology.
It’s time to apply harm reduction *consistently* — including for nicotine. #FCTCOP11 #THRworks #HealthForAll
