The FCTC (Framework Convention on Tobacco Control)

The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is an international treaty developed by the World Health Organization to combat tobacco-related health issues globally. It sets guidelines for countries to implement policies like controlling advertising, raising taxes on tobacco products, banning smoking in public places, and warning consumers about health risks. The goal is to reduce tobacco use, protect health, and save lives. Countries that join agree to work together and adopt effective measures to prevent smoking and help people quit, creating a healthier environment worldwide.
