Снижение вреда от табака: актуальная проблема для Азии
Harry Shapiro
В центре внимания этого брифинга GSTHR — Азия. В этом регионе проживает 60 процентов курильщиков мира, и здесь происходит почти половина всех смертей от курения в мире. В Азии также проживают девять из каждых десяти пользователей бездымного табака (SLT), что приводит к высокому уровню заболеваемости раком полости рта. В ряде стран общественное здравоохранение серьёзно подрывается из-за того, что правительства либо контролируют отечественные табачные компании, либо имеют в них значительную долю. Для устранения угрозы общественному здоровью, связанной с курением и употреблением табака, необходимы новые решения, однако более безопасные никотиновые продукты запрещены во многих странах. Улучшит ли снижение вреда от табака общественное здоровье в Азии? И если да, то какие препятствия стоят на его пути?
Официальное мероприятие по запуску брифинга состоялось онлайн в воскресенье, 18 апреля 2021 года, и было организовано совместно с Association of Vapers India.
