The tobacco industry harms everyone

The tobacco industry is actively threatening public health everywhere. STOP shines the light on major trends, issues and tactics that governments and citizens need to know about, and offers ways to counter the industry.

Environment

Every step of tobacco production harms the planet and degrades our natural resources, but Big Tobacco tries to paint itself as an environmental ally.

Inequity

Big Tobacco targets groups who already face barriers to health and well-being due to bias and discrimination.

Next Generation Addiction

Big Tobacco needs to replace the consumers who have died from using its products—often by targeting youth with flashy new products.

Industry Marketing

Big Tobacco’s marketing tactics are targeted, deliberate and harmful.

STOP is a global tobacco industry watchdog

Our mission is to expose and counter industry behavior that undermines public health. Through robust monitoring, research and reporting, STOP holds the tobacco industry accountable and supports efforts around the world to address industry interference in policy.

About Us
The results of [STOP’s] Global Tobacco Index have exposed tobacco industry interference in public health tobacco control policies.

Brenda Chitindi, Executive Director of Tobacco Free Association of Zambia

WHO commends STOP’s work to shine a spotlight on the deceptive tactics of the tobacco industry, and their aim to equip policymakers and public health advocates with information to combat industry influence.

Dr. Ruediger Krech, Director, Department of Health Promotion, World Health Organization

Exposing the industry's use of grants, charity and other forms of sponsorship for twisting government policies and manipulating the public in its favour would not have been possible without STOP's support.
