New international survey reveals growing impatience among the public toward their governments’ tobacco policy approach.

Jacek Olczak’s appearance at the 2023 Concordia Annual Summit has been canceled following pressure from public health groups who appear more focused on ending an industry than acting in the best interests of smokers.

Jacek Olczak highlights the need for tobacco harm reduction during a speech broadcast on Reuters Plus.

Using data, estimates, and methods from the WHO and other third parties, we have calculated the potential positive impact to public health if the world’s smokers switched from cigarettes to smoke-free products.

KPMG released the data from its annual report on illicit cigarette consumption in the EU, Moldova, Norway, Switzerland, the U.K., and Ukraine.

This publication constitutes the company’s inaugural report dedicated to describing their strategy to respect human rights and the progress made to date.

Jacek Olczak says historical tobacco control measures aren’t working quickly enough and that governments should learn from nations like Sweden, Japan, and the U.K.—where smoke-free alternatives have helped reduce smoking rates faster.

We support the U.K.'s commitment to help adult smokers quit cigarettes, but now the government should embrace the full range of science-based alternative products available.
