It encourages countries to implement measures like restricting tobacco advertising, increasing taxes, creating smoke-free public spaces, and warning about health risks. The goal is to protect current and future generations from tobacco-related diseases and deaths. By fostering global cooperation, it seeks to create a healthier environment and reduce the burden of tobacco-related illness globally.
