Now that contracts are in place for the 2023-2026 funding period, I thought we should reflect on the value of population health promotion and its role in the fight against the harm caused by the tobacco Industry. In this research roundup, I share insights from the latest World Health Organization (WHO) report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic 2023 along with some recent examples of successful population health promotion activities in Australia and the USA, including:

• Smoke-free environments: current status and remaining challenges in Australia
• Impact of the ‘10,000 Lives’ program on Quitline referrals, use and outcomes by demography and Indigenous status
• Informing women about the risks of exposing babies to tobacco smoke: outreach and education efforts using Facebook “boost posts”.
