Doctors and Harm Reduction: The Fight for Honest Tobacco Policy
Smoking remains a global public health crisis, leading to millions of preventable deaths annually.

Doctors worldwide call for education, regulation, and safer alternatives to combat smoking effectively and shift from managing to preventing the tragic consequences of smoking.
