GFN•TV: THR News, Expert Opinions, and Interviews
Nasvay is a traditional smokeless tobacco product widely used across Central Asia, particularly in Kyrgyzstan. Often produced on a small or household scale, it sits in a complex space between tradition, affordability, tobacco use and harm reduction.
This presentation explores nasvay through the experience of Renat, a producer from Kyrgyzstan who demonstrates how the product is made and explains its place in everyday life. The discussion looks at why people turn to nasvay when cigarettes become too expensive, how its use varies across different parts of Kyrgyzstan, and why it remains largely unregulated.
The Global Forum on Nicotine (GFN) has taken place every year since 2014 and is the only international conference to focus on how vapes, nicotine pouches, Swedish snus and heated tobacco can help people switch away from smoking.
