On June 23, WHO will release the Global Tobacco Epidemic Report 2025, which provides reliable data and clear messages on tobacco control in each country. The report tracks progress in tobacco control since 2007, highlighting the achievements of pioneers and countries making significant progress, as well as the proportion of the world's population now covered by tobacco control regulations.

The report also reflects a growing trend of countries banning e-cigarettes, raising tobacco taxes and introducing strong visual warnings on product packaging. As the tobacco industry continues to target young people with appealing flavours and sophisticated advertising, the report highlights global efforts to protect future generations.

That same evening, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the World Health Organization will present the Global Tobacco Control Awards to honor countries and international organizations that have achieved outstanding results in effective tobacco control.
