WHO report urges stronger action against global tobacco epidemic

  • The World Health Organization released its Global Tobacco Epidemic 2025 report on June 23, 2025, at a conference in Dublin.
  • The report warns that rising tobacco industry interference and lagging momentum require urgent action to sustain and accelerate tobacco control progress.
  • Since 2007, at least one WHO MPOWER tobacco control measure has been adopted by 155 nations, safeguarding more than 6.1 billion individuals, while comprehensive smoke-free policies have been established in 79 countries, protecting around one-third of the global population.
  • Annual deaths from tobacco exceed 7 million globally, including 1.3 million from secondhand smoke, and key officials like Dr. Ruediger Krech urge all nations to ensure no one is left behind in tobacco fight.
  • The report's findings suggest continued investment in tobacco control policies and education programs remains critical to reduce youth use and counteract industry challenges worldwide.
