The program leverages the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global expertise and contacts to advance the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products’ mission. It seeks to ensure adequate regulation for public health protection in the U.S. and also fosters international collaboration and research development, leading to better-informed tobacco product regulation and increased public knowledge of tobacco harms worldwide.
