Its decision not to have any smoking reduction plan or policy since 2015, is proving to be good news for the smoking industry. At the time, the country had just concluded a five-year plan on tobacco control. For this reason, the WHO is working tirelessly to stop tobacco use, while also working to make nicotine replacements available to smokers who want to quit.

Elsewhere in the world, tobacco harm reduction is seen as a cause worth pursuing.
