World Health Organization-

Yesterday, WHO launched the Access Initiative for Quitting Tobacco, which aims to help the world's 1.3 billion tobacco users quit during the pandemic. Smoking kills eight million people a year and smokers are more vulnerable to developing a severe case of COVID-19. WHO received its first-ever donation of nicotine replacement therapies for the project from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health. The Initiative also enlists the help of WHO's- and the world’s - first ever virtual health worker, Florence. You can speak with Florence, to dispel myths around COVID-19 and smoking, and to help develop a personalized plan to quit tobacco. WHO is

in the final stages of adding more partners and encourages pharmaceutical and technology companies to join

this initiative.
