The United Nations’ World Health Organisation expects a billion people will die prematurely from smoking this century. The products their doctors recommend are rarely effective and many are trapped. A new vapour technology was invented to give smokers a successful way to quit. But it was quickly demonised, and even banned in many countries.

Director Aaron Biebert travelled across four continents interviewing doctors, scientists, and others working to save a billion lives.
