Guides, tools and support services to help you quit tobacco
Smoking is still the single biggest public health issue in the world. On average, about 1 out of every 6 deaths yearly globally (between 7 and 8 million adults a year1) will be linked directly to smoking. If we can move towards a world that does not smoke, global incidence of smoking-related deaths and diseases such as lung cancer will diminish in the years ahead. Find out more by listening to our Fit for Duty Podcast — episode 4: Turning the tide on tobacco: the role of society, governments and employers, with Dr Sneh Khemka.
