W Gruzji rozpowszechnienie oraz skutki palenia tytoniu stanowią poważne wyzwanie dla zdrowia publicznego. Według szacunków z 2022 roku, liczba palaczy w wieku 15 lat i starszych wynosiła 903 297 osób. Surowa częstość palenia wśród dorosłych mężczyzn wynosiła 54,7%, co jest znacząco wyższym wynikiem niż w przypadku kobiet, wśród których odsetek ten wynosił 7,1%, co ostatecznie przekłada się na ogólną częstość palenia wśród dorosłych na poziomie 29%. W 2021 roku codziennie paliło 24,2% dorosłych, w tym 7,7% kobiet i 43,3% mężczyzn. Dane z 2021 roku podkreślają poważne konsekwencje zdrowotne związane z paleniem tytoniu – odnotowano 12 018 zgonów w ciągu roku. Wynika z nich, że 10,95% wszystkich zgonów w Gruzji było związanych z paleniem, przy czym odsetek ten wyniósł 18,23% wśród mężczyzn i 3,59% wśród kobiet. Powyższe dane stanowią ważne tło dla inicjatyw zdrowotnych i działań regulacyjnych mających na celu ograniczenie palenia tytoniu oraz zmniejszenie jego negatywnego wpływu na zdrowie w Gruzji.

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.
