Empowering pharmacists to support tobacco cessation in Western Pacific Region

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IE">In the Western Pacific Region, 22.5 % of
people aged 15 years and over were current tobacco users. Given the global and
regional prevalence and burden of tobacco use, particularly as a risk factor
for noncommunicable diseases, it is important that the role of pharmacists in
this area is expanded and consolidated. FIP and the Western Pacific
Pharmaceutical Forum invite you to join this event to learn more about the
burden of tobacco use in the Western Pacific region and the role that
pharmacists can play in tobacco cessation. The event will include insights from
the WHO Regional Office, country examples of pharmacist services and the
presentation of FIP resources to advance tobacco cessation through pharmacists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
