GATS provides data to policymakers and health organizations to develop effective strategies for tobacco control and to monitor progress in reducing tobacco consumption. The survey uses standardized methods, ensuring reliable and comparable results across countries. Overall, GATS aims to guide efforts in reducing tobacco-related health problems globally by providing essential insights into adult tobacco use.
