Smoke Free Environments International Status Report
Smoke-free environments are a vital part of
combating the global tobacco epidemic.
Article 8 of the World Health
Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) requires
Parties to protect their citizens from exposure to tobacco smoke.
As part of its ongoing efforts to highlight the critical importance of smokefree
legislation that is compliant with the FCTC, the Framework Convention
Alliance (FCA) has produced this report detailing country level status on
smoke-free legislation.
Data contained in this report comes from the WHO Report on the Global
Tobacco Epidemic, 2009. In this second assessment of the global tobacco
epidemic, WHO collected country level data on the implementation of the
6 key measures contained in the WHO MPOWER package – monitoring tobacco
use and prevention policies, protecting from tobacco smoke, offering help
to quit tobacco use, warning about the dangers of tobacco, enforcing bans
on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, and raising taxes on
tobacco.
