Tobacco Control Policy Control Policy : Strategies Successes and Setbacks
This publication was commissioned and
published in the hope that descriptions of strategies,
successes, and setbacks in promoting stronger tobacco
control policies around the world would be of wide interest
and might be useful to people grappling with similar issues.
As participants in academic, advocacy, and policy meetings
on tobacco control, we have been struck by the impact of
real-life stories and examples. We have been educated and
edified by many excellent presentations and discussions of
the principles, practice, and impact of tobacco control
policy - but what we remember most clearly, long after, are
the stories. We have seen rooms come alive with interest and
crackle with energy when people who had been at the center
of efforts to develop tobacco control policy related their
experiences. The case studies in this book are addressed to
a wide set of readers who share an interest in health issues
and policy - people in non-governmental organizations,
community activists, scientists, decision-makers, health
officials, and members of the public. Each story is set in
the unique historical, cultural, and political environment
of a particular country, but there are common threads and
shared lessons that can be applied and adapted in many other
countries and circumstances.
