Foundation for a Smoke-Free World

The Foundation for a Smoke-Free World is an organization focused on smoking harm reduction founded in 2017. In May 2024, it changed its name to Global Action to End Smoking. The World Health Organization (WHO) urged not to collaborate with this front organization of the tobacco industry.

It is funded by the tobacco industry Philip Morris International (PMI), which initially planned to provide $80 million dollars in annual funding. The pledge agreement from PMI to the Foundation, modified in September 2020, promised $35 million in funding to the Foundation from 2022 through 2029. In 2023, the agreement was terminated, with a payment of $140 million. Provided by Wikipedia
