This book represents an important and timely element in WHO's efforts to combat the world smoking epidemic. It contains a selection of national laws, regulations, and other legislative instruments that have been enacted by countries and subnational jurisdictions to combat smoking (and other forms of tobacco use). Most of the texts originally appeared in the WHO quarterly journal, the International Digest of Health Legislation. The scope of the legislation contained in this volume is broad indeed. It covers such aspects as: control of advertising, sponsorship, and other forms of sales promotion; health warnings; control of harmful substances in tobacco products; restrictions on smoking in public places, public transport, and the workplace; anti-smoking programmes directed to children and adolescents; fiscal and economic measures; and institutional mechanisms for policy development and coordination. Readers will be interested to learn that WHO will shortly be publishing a comprehensive update of Roemer's Legislative Action to Combat the World Smoking Epidemic (published by WHO in 1982 in English, French and Arabic editions).

The idea for this handbook arose from an awareness that whilst various WHO documents called for developing national capacity for tobacco control, there was not comprehensive guide to the development of such a capacity. This book is thus, essentially, a pragmatic "how to" manual. The Introduction presents the evolving definition of "national capacity", identifies the types of capacities needed for effective tobacco control and outlines the key features of building capacity. Section 1 provides a descriptive overview of the tobacco epidemic. It looks at tobacco as a risk factor, presenting its health, social and economic costs; the global strategies of the tobacco industry to counteract public health measures; the scientific evidence for effective tobacco control interventions; and the WHO FCTC as a global solution to an epidemic with prominent politico-legal and socio-cultural attributes. Section 2 focuses on the fundamental capacities necessary to empower countries to control the tobacco epidemic successfully. These chapters apply the lessons learned from the experiences of different countries and offer advice and suggestions to enable countries to put the theories of tobacco control into practice.

The report "Monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies" tracks the status of the tobacco epidemic and interventions to combat it. The report finds that more countries have implemented tobacco control policies, ranging from graphic pack warnings and advertising bans to no smoking areas. About 4.7 billion people - 63% of the world's population - are covered by at least one comprehensive tobacco control measure, which has quadrupled since 2007 when only 1 billion people and 15% of the world's population were covered.

The United States has made historic progress in combating the epidemic of tobacco-caused illness and death since the landmark 1964 Surgeon General's Report on the health effects of cigarette smoking. Because of this, many mistakenly assume that future advances will be assured. In 2009, recognizing that declines in smoking prevalence had stalled, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius directed HHS to develop a Department-wide strategic action plan for tobacco control to accelerate progress in combating the tobacco epidemic. A working group of public health experts across HHS was convened to develop Ending the Tobacco Epidemic: A Tobacco Control Strategic Action Plan for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Published in November 2010, the Strategic Action Plan mobilizes HHS tobacco control resources toward the bold vision of a society free from tobacco-related death and disease and provides a framework for coordinating tobacco control efforts across the Department and the nation. The Strategic Action Plan prescribes proven, practical, achievable actions that can be implemented at the federal, state, and community levels. It sets forth the most effective evidence-based and evidence-informed approaches that will enable HHS to build on recent legislative milestones, respond to the changing market for tobacco products, and promote robust tobacco control programs at the federal, state, and community levels. The Strategic Action Plan charts a framework designed to achieve four central tobacco-related objectives of Healthy People 2020: Reduce tobacco use by adults and adolescents; Reduce the initiation of tobacco use among children, adolescents, and young adults; Increase smoking cessation success by adult smokers; Reduce the proportion of nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke. The Plan also directs that future activities focus on accomplishing specific objectives in four major action areas: Leading by example; Improving the public's health; Engaging the public; Advancing knowledge.

This book contains the guidelines adopted by the Conference of the Parties. These seven guidelines cover a wide range of provisions of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, such as: the protection of public health policies with respect to tobacco control from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry; protection from exposure to tobacco smoke; packaging and labelling of tobacco products; and tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship; and demand reduction measures concerning tobacco dependence and cessation. These guidelines are intended to help Parties to meet their obligations under the respective provisions of the Convention. They reflect the consolidated views of Parties on different aspects of implementation, their experiences and achievements, and the challenges faced. The guidelines also aim to reflect and promote best practices and standards that governments would benefit from in the treaty-implementation process.
