Dear Ms Sõber,
Tenth edition of the WHO report on the global tobacco epidemic
The World Health Organization is committed to providing Member States with accurate, relevant,
internationally comparable information to guide the development of health policy and to evaluate the
impact of those policies. An example of this type of information source is the WHO report on the
global tobacco epidemic, which WHO has published regularly since 2008. WHO is currently
collecting data for the tenth edition of the report, planned for publication in mid-2025, and we would
like to extend an invitation to your Ministry to participate.
The WHO European Region will conduct the survey for this report at regional level, in accordance
with the current WHO global policy on use of surveys for data collection. As it is crucial that the
report reflect country data correctly, WHO asks Member States to provide their most recent
information on tobacco-related policies and data on tobacco use. Once data collection and analysis are
completed, WHO will share the analysis with Member States for validation and approval before the
report is published.
The previous survey for this report was supported by Ms Aive Telling. Please advise whether we may
contact Ms Telling directly for continued support. If you wish to nominate another focal point, please
provide his or her name, email and phone number for contact.
Should you be able to accept this invitation, please confirm by replying to Ms Elizaveta Lebedeva,
consultant, Tobacco Control (email:
[email protected]) by 24 May 2024.
Thank you in advance for your valuable cooperation on this report, which is of high priority for the
World Health Organization.
Sincerely yours,
Dr Gauden Galea
