Global Tobacco Control Program

The Global Tobacco Control Program is an international effort to reduce the harm caused by tobacco use worldwide. It involves creating policies, regulations, and programs to prevent smoking initiation, encourage cessation, and protect people from tobacco smoke exposure. This initiative supports countries in implementing measures like advertising bans, warning labels, high taxes, and public awareness campaigns, aligning with the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The goal is to save lives, improve health, and reduce the economic burden associated with tobacco-related diseases globally.
