WHO strengthens measures to reduce tobacco use.

Tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable death, killing 8.7 million people a year, including 1.3 million deaths from secondhand smoke.

At the end of July 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that only four countries, Brazil, Mauritius, the Netherlands and Turkey, had adopted all the anti-tobacco measures recommended in the fight against this dangerous smoke.

WHO urges countries to scale up measures to reduce tobacco use, including banning advertising, printing health warnings on cigarette packaging, raising tobacco taxes and supporting people who want to quit.
