🚨🚬 El tabaco también dejó su huella en la historia de la Fórmula 1.
Durante décadas, las tabacaleras utilizaron cascos, uniformes y automóviles para promocionar cigarrillos y vincular sus marcas con ídolos del deporte.
Hoy, los símbolos de aquella época siguen presentes en exhibiciones abiertas a públicos de todas las edades.
Además, las compañías tabacaleras están utilizando los patrocinios de equipos de Fórmula 1 para promocionar nuevos productos, incluidas las bolsas de nicotina como ZYN y VELO.
👉 La F1 no debe normalizar la publicidad del tabaco, especialmente mientras busca atraer a nuevas generaciones de aficionados a este deporte.

Great ideas grow when people come together.
Meet the young advocates bringing this year’s Global Young Ambassadors Summit to life with their creative facilitation in Istanbul, Türkiye
Each facilitator is bringing expertise, experience and fresh perspectives to the table. Our facilitators will help this year’s cohort build skills and exchange ideas to explore new ways we can advance tobacco control around the world.
This generation isn’t waiting for change; they’re already making it happen.

Meet the 2026 Global Young Ambassadors for Tobacco Control! Bringing together 31 young professionals across five continents in Istanbul, this year’s cohort is united by a shared commitment to advancing tobacco control and building a healthier future.
From local advocacy to national policy change, these professionals are challenging the status quo, amplifying their communities' voices and pushing for a world free from the harms of tobacco and nicotine.
Meet the people making it happen.
Last week in Mexico City, @CTFKGlobal co-organized a regional workshop with @pahowho, @VitalStrat, @StopCorpAbuse and @GATC_int. It brought together Ministry of Health officials and civil society from across Latin America to strengthen collaboration ahead of COP12.
Participants addressed tobacco industry interference, misleading "harm reduction" narratives and the regulation of nicotine products. They also identified concrete ways civil society can support governments in implementing the WHO #FCTC.

🧩 La emoción de la Fórmula 1 también conquista a las infancias.
Por eso, es fundamental impedir que empresas tabacaleras como Philip Morris y British American Tobacco se aprovechen de espacios destinados al entretenimiento familiar.
⚠️ La industria tabacalera conoce el poder de estas asociaciones. Por eso es fundamental impedir que las marcas de tabaco se beneficien de espacios pensados para el entretenimiento familiar.

What can stronger tobacco control policies do to protect health in Viet Nam?
In a recent televised discussion, Dr. Quang, Senior Policy Advisor at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, shared evidence and policy perspectives on strengthening graphic health warnings on tobacco packaging. Dr. Quang has also helped bring attention to the need for a roadmap toward comprehensive smoke-free environments.
Viet Nam’s National Assembly is expected to approve changes to the Tobacco Control Law in the coming weeks. Clear, evidence-based discussion can help people understand what the changes would do and why they matter.

🏁 La historia del automovilismo también tiene un pasado ligado a la publicidad del tabaco.
Entre cascos, uniformes y recuerdos de grandes pilotos, aparecen marcas de cigarrillos que durante décadas patrocinaron este deporte.
🚨 Cuando estas exhibiciones son accesibles a niñas y niños, debemos cuestionar cómo se presenta y contextualiza esa publicidad.

🧩 Parece un juego, pero detrás puede haber una estrategia de marketing.
La Fórmula 1 atrae a públicos de todas las edades. La industria tabacalera ha aprovechado históricamente el automovilismo para posicionar sus marcas y asociarlas con emociones positivas.
🚨El entretenimiento infantil no debe ser un vehículo para la publicidad del tabaco.

1 in 10 school-going students in Pakistan already use tobacco. A bigger pack warning is one of the simplest ways to change that number. #GHW #tobaccoff #ProtectOurChildren #nosmoking
Tobacco companies should not be able to exploit gaps in the rules while people wait for stronger health protections.
Bangladesh has strengthened its tobacco control law, but clear rules are needed to put it into practice. As the Dhaka Tribune argues, those rules must address emerging nicotine products.
Authorities must now put comprehensive, enforceable rules in place without delay and follow through with consistent enforcement. The measure of success will be whether the law reduces tobacco exposure and the harm it causes.

Healthy kids, happier Pakistan. Let's protect childhood and prevent addiction - together. #LetKidsGrow #TobaccoFreeGeneration #PACT #NoSmokingChallenge
The sign says “No Smoking.” The ashtray tells another story.
Turkey’s Bırak Nefes Alayım (Let Me Breathe) campaign calls for enforcement of Law No. 4207 so smoke-free rules become reality. Clean air is everyone’s right.

Duvarında ‘Sigara İçmek Yasaktır’ levhası. Masada kül tablası. Havada duman.
Bu görüntü tanıdık olabilir. Ama normal olmak zorunda değil.
Bırak Nefes Alayım, dumansız hava sahası kurallarıyla gündelik hayatta karşılaştığımız gerçek arasındaki farkı görünür kılmak için başlıyor.
