Tobacco-Free Initiative
The Tobacco-Free Initiative is a global effort led by the World Health Organization (WHO) aimed at reducing tobacco use and its harmful effects on health. This initiative promotes policies and programs that encourage people to quit smoking and prevent young individuals from starting. It focuses on raising awareness about the dangers of tobacco and advocating for smoke-free environments.
The initiative also supports countries in implementing effective tobacco control measures, such as higher taxes on tobacco products, graphic warning labels, and restrictions on advertising. By fostering collaboration among governments, health organizations, and communities, the Tobacco-Free Initiative seeks to create a healthier, tobacco-free world.
