Global Action to End Smoking, Inc. (“Global Action” or “GA”) is an independent, U.S. nonprofit 501(c)(3) grantmaking and research organization whose mission is to end combustible tobacco use, which remains the leading preventable cause of death globally.
To achieve this goal, we strive to identify and address the unique needs of people who smoke as they relate to tobacco cessation and harm reduction. We are committed to the urgent need to help the one billion people in the world who smoke cigarettes and use other forms of tobacco. Toward this end, we also support the use of alternative products/methods that may reduce their current health risks and perhaps help them stop smoking entirely in the future.
