This report provides a comprehensive overview of the key role of pharmacists in tobacco cessation and how this contributes to timely patient care and to health system efficiency through interprofessional care teams. The report also shares global best practices to advance pharmacy practice and international standards of patient care. The basis for this report was established through a review of existing literature. In addition, a survey and a compilation of brief country highlights specifically tailored to engage FIP member organisations (MOs) were conducted. The full survey results are available to FIP member organisations in an extended version of this report. However, a summary of the findings is provided here too.
