When you consider tobacco kills up to half of users who don’t quit, it is clear: change is needed quickly. When we also consider that many of the world’s smokers – particularly in LMICs – do not have access to affordable, evidence-based, smoking cessation interventions and that their availability differs from country to country, enabling tobacco cessation on a global scale and creating a tobacco-smoke-free world is a huge challenge.
The vision of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World (FSFW) is to eliminate combustible tobacco, toxic tobacco forms, and smoking-related death and disease globally, with a specific emphasis on LMICs. Cambridge Design Partnership (CDP), a UK-based independent innovation partner, has been collaborating with FSFW to realize their vision since 2018.
We have identified five approaches that could positively impact tobacco cessation and suggested a model through which the process of cessation and harm reduction can be established. We hope the learnings of this research will help efforts to reduce the eight million lives lost annually to smoking-related illnesses.
