Health experts are discussing the potential of gradually raising the age of sale as a method to prevent young people from smoking. On World No Tobacco Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report titled 'Hooking the Next Generation,' highlighting the predatory marketing tactics of big tobacco firms. The campaign 'Quit Like Sweden' urges progressive tobacco control measures to save millions of lives. WHO Europe emphasizes the importance of clear pictorial health warnings on all nicotine and tobacco products to protect children and youth. Additionally, there is a call to end the use of attractive flavors that lure young people into addiction. World No Tobacco Day also aims to protect the 1.3 billion adults who smoke and discusses a birth date–based phaseout approach.
