Redukcja szkód związanych z tytoniem: palący problem Azji
Harry Shapiro
Tematem tego opracowania GSTHR jest Azja. Sześćdziesiąt procent palaczy na świecie mieszka w tym regionie i dochodzi tu do niemal połowy zgonów na świecie spowodowanych paleniem. Azja jest również domem dla dziewięciu na dziesięciu użytkowników tytoniu bezdymnego (SLT), co prowadzi do wysokiej zachorowalności na raka jamy ustnej. W wielu krajach zdrowie publiczne jest poważnie zagrożone, ponieważ rządy kontrolują krajowe firmy tytoniowe lub mają w nich znaczące udziały. Potrzebne są nowe rozwiązania, aby przeciwdziałać zagrożeniu dla zdrowia publicznego wynikającemu z palenia i używania tytoniu - jednak bezpieczniejsze produkty nikotynowe są zakazane w wielu krajach. Czy redukcja szkód związanych z tytoniem poprawiłaby zdrowie publiczne w Azji? A jeśli tak - jakie przeszkody stoją jej na drodze?
Oficjalne wydarzenie inaugurujące opracowanie odbyło się online w niedzielę 18 kwietnia 2021 r. i zostało współorganizowane z Association of Vapers India.
