Tobacco Harm Reduction in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Welcome to our Course! We are thrilled to have you join us as we explore the field of tobacco harm reduction in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

By the end of this course, participants will understand the impact of tobacco use in LMICs, analyse existing policies and gaps, and explain the role of Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) and safer nicotine products. They will also be able to identify and apply practical strategies to support THR policy, communication, and implementation in their own country contexts.
