FCTC

The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is a global treaty adopted by the World Health Organization to fight against tobacco use. It encourages countries to implement policies like restricting tobacco advertising, raising taxes to make cigarettes more expensive, banning smoking in public places, and providing support for quitting. The goal is to reduce tobacco consumption worldwide, preventing health problems like cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. By uniting countries under common rules, the FCTC aims to protect populations from the harms of tobacco and promote healthier societies.
