BUILDING SUPPORT FOR TOBACCO CONTROLA L L I ANCEFRAMEWORK CONVENT ION

Smoke-free environmentS are a vital part of combating the global tobacco epidemic. Article 8 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) requires Parties to protect their citizens from exposure to tobacco smoke.

As part of its ongoing efforts to highlight the critical importance of smoke-free legislation that is compliant with the FCTC, the Framework Convention Alliance (FCA) has produced this report detailing country level status on smoke-free legislation.

Data contained in this report comes from the WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2009. In this second assessment of the global tobacco epidemic, WHO collected country level data on the implementation of the 6 key measures contained in the WHO MPOWER package – monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies, protecting from tobacco smoke, offering help to quit tobacco use, warning about the dangers of tobacco, enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, and raising taxes on tobacco.

1 SMOKE-FREE ENVIRONMENTS

Smoke-free environmentsComprehensive, well-enforced smoke-free laws effectively protect people from the harms of secondhand smoke and help smokers to reduce smoking or quit. In 2008, 7 countries passed comprehensive smoke-free laws bringing the total number of countries with comprehensive smoke-free laws to 17. However, almost 95% of the world’s population is left unprotected from the harms of secondhand smoke. Sixty-five countries have no national smoke-free policies and almost 50 countries have policies that cover only a limited number of public places.

Scientific evidence has unequivocally established that exposure to tobacco smoke causes death, disease and disability. Globally, an estimated one-third of adults are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke alone causes approximately 600,000 premature deaths per year worldwide. Of all deaths attributable to secondhand smoke, 31% occur among children and 64% occur among women.

Article 8 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) requires Parties to protect their citizens from exposure to tobacco smoke. As of November 30, 2009, 168 countries have ratified the FCTC, and the majority of these countries continue to fail to provide adequate protection from the harms of secondhand smoke.

† Complete sub-national legislation covers at least 90% of the population


Governments around the world recognized that exposure to tobacco smoke is a major cause of mortality and morbidity when they unanimously adopted the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC). To protect their citizens from the harms of secondhand smoke, Parties to the FCTC developed and adopted strong, evidence based guidelines for implementation of Article 8 of the FCTC. by becoming Parties to the FCTC, governments are legally bound to implement comprehensive smoke-free policies in all public places assessed in the 2009 WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic.

As of November 30, 2009, 168 countries have ratified the FCTC. However, this report shows that the majority of these countries continue to fail to provide adequate protection to their citizens from the harms of secondhand smoke. According to the 2009 WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, only 17 countries are implementing policies that adequately protect their citizens from the deadly harms of secondhand smoke and comply with the legal requirements of the FCTC. The Framework Convention Alliance calls upon all countries ratifying the FCTC to meet their treaty obligations and fully protect their citizens from the harms of secondhand smoke.

DATA NOTESunless otherwise noted, the data in this report is from the 2009 WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic. The 2009 report is an update to the 2008 MPOWER package that detailed six policies to reduce tobacco’s deadly toll. The MPOWER package of measures include monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies, protecting from tobacco smoke, offering help to quit tobacco use, warning about the dangers of tobacco, enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship and raising taxes on tobacco. Countries were asked to report on the national status of the MPOWER measure as of December 31, 2008.

Restaurants primarily serve food that is made and consumed on the premises, though it may be taken-away. Restaurants may also serve alcoholic beverages, but the substantial portion of profit should come from the sale of food.

Pubs and bars make a substantial portion of their profits from the sale of beverages, whether alcoholic or not. They may also sell food or other items.

As of December 31, 2008, 25 countries completely banned smoking in restaurants, and 20 countries completely banned smoking in all restaurants, pubs and bars.
