Our Mission

Accelerating Research & Education to Save Lives

Our charitable mission is to end combustible tobacco use, which remains the leading cause of death globally. We do this by funding and empowering Health & Science Research, Cessation Education, and Agricultural Transformation.

Program Areas

Global Action to End Smoking funds research and programs that advance tobacco harm reduction and help adults who smoke quit or move down the continuum of risk. We fund both the science that builds the evidence and the education and services that bring it to the people who need it most.

November is LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, causing 60%-70% of all cases. Lung cancer is the leading cause of all cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for 1.86 million deaths in 2024. You can lower your risk of developing lung cancer by quitting smoking in whatever way works best for you. We support all adults who smoke and want to quit, no matter where they are in their journey.
