The WHO Tobacco Free Initiative is part of the Non communicable Diseases and Mental Health cluster at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Conscious of the global tobacco epidemic's massive toll of death, sickness and misery, and mindful of the need to raise the profile of its tobacco control work, WHO in July 1998 established the Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI).

The headquarters staff, regional and country advisers (the TFI network) works closely to plan and implement all tobacco control activities.
