The Smokeless Word: Live from the Lab with Dr James Murphy is back! And this time he’s joined by economist Professor Douglas Deng, whose research explores how the tobacco industry is evolving as next-generation products reshape the market. His message for governments across Asia: “It is not very easy to get a one-size-fits-all solution for different countries.” But an evidence-based framework is a must. Join James and Professor Deng as they explore what that means in practice, including the realities of tobacco-growing economies and the lessons from Japan’s heated tobacco market.

Greece shows what happens when regulators allow for an objective assessment of the science-based evidence and independent verification of reduced‑risk messages. Since implementing this framework, adult smoking rates fell by 10% from 2020–2024, while heated product adoption doubled. Jochen Hiller, cluster manager of our Greek market team, outlines the case study below.

On the latest episode of The Smokeless Word, South Africa's former Statistician-General, Pali Lehohla, draws on HSRC survey data to explore what fading public trust could mean for elections and broader society.

When governments enable evidence-led communication, public health benefits. Our newly updated Omni™ 2026 edition features an updated look at Greece, where landmark legislation in 2020 created a framework for communicating government approved risk reduction information to adult consumers at the point of sale. Since then, daily smoking rates have dropped while adoption of reduced risk profile alternatives has grown. Greece shows what happens when policy allows adult smokers who would otherwise continue to smoke to access scientific facts and information. Review the evidence. Join the conversation.
