Youth Centred Tobacco Control Policies
Regional Overview
Links to the relevant Tobacco Control Policies and laws depicted in the above graphics can be found here.
The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) provides recommendations for tobacco control policies which allows countries to safeguard public health. This convention allows for the protection of not only adults, but minors also. The tobacco industry still use tactics such as colorful packaging and tempting flavours to indirectly market to children which poses a serious public health issue if children start experimenting with tobacco.
The following policy recommendations are based on FCTC articles (relating to the reduction of demand and supply of tobacco) which, when implemented can increase tobacco control and protect youth from the danger of tobacco.
