Tobacco control initiatives

Tobacco control initiatives are measures taken by governments and organizations to reduce tobacco use and its health impacts. These include public awareness campaigns about the dangers of smoking, imposing higher taxes on tobacco products, creating smoke-free public spaces, and restricting tobacco advertising. Such actions aim to discourage smoking, protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke, and support those who want to quit. By creating a healthier environment and informing the public, these initiatives seek to lower tobacco-related diseases and improve overall public health.
