The bulk of the world’s tobacco is produced in low- and middle-income countries. In order to dissuade these countries from implementing policies aimed at curbing tobacco consumption (such as increased taxes, health warnings, advertising bans and smoke-free environments), the tobacco industry claims that tobacco farmers will be negatively affected and that no viable, sustainable alternatives exist. This book, based on original research from three continents, exposes the myths behind these claims.

The idea for this handbook arose from an awareness that whilst various WHO documents called for developing national capacity for tobacco control, there was not comprehensive guide to the development of such a capacity. This book is thus, essentially, a pragmatic "how to" manual. The Introduction presents the evolving definition of "national capacity", identifies the types of capacities needed for effective tobacco control and outlines the key features of building capacity. Section 1 provides a descriptive overview of the tobacco epidemic. It looks at tobacco as a risk factor, presenting its health, social and economic costs; the global strategies of the tobacco industry to counteract public health measures; the scientific evidence for effective tobacco control interventions; and the WHO FCTC as a global solution to an epidemic with prominent politico-legal and socio-cultural attributes. Section 2 focuses on the fundamental capacities necessary to empower countries to control the tobacco epidemic successfully. These chapters apply the lessons learned from the experiences of different countries and offer advice and suggestions to enable countries to put the theories of tobacco control into practice.

Research in the past five years suggests a bleak picture of the health dangers of smoking, with tobacco the biggest single killer of all forms of pollution. It is estimated that one person dies every ten seconds due to smoking-related diseases. This publication considers the history and current position regarding tobacco use, as well as providing some predictions for the future of the tobacco epidemic upto the year 2050. It contains a number of full-colour world maps and graphics to illustrate the variations between countries and regions. Issues discussed include: tobacco prevalence and consumption; youth smoking; the economics of tobacco farming and manufacturing; smuggling; the tobacco industry, promotion, profits and trade; smokers' rights; legislative action such as smoke-free areas, tobacco advertising bans and health warnings.

In the light of international concerns over the harmful effects of tobacco smoking, the FAO has undertaken a project involving a number of studies which examine various aspects of the global tobacco economy. This is the second study in the series and focuses on the potential effects of reduced global demand on the economic conditions, earnings and food security of farming communities in developing countries dependent on tobacco production. It contains case studies of the tobacco economy in Brazil, China, India, Malawi, Turkey, and Zimbabwe, as well as a literature review of key issues including tobacco supply and demand, cigarette advertising and promotion, taxation, and the social costs of smoking.

The note looks at tobacco from the health perspective, and at how to reduce its use, since smoking is becoming the single biggest cause of death worldwide, particularly affecting the developing countries, where most of the world's smokers live. It thus looks at the correlation between smoking and poverty, stating smoking prevalence tends to be higher among men with less education, and with lower incomes, hence bearing greater health risks. Because of the highly addictive factor of nicotine, smoking initiation should be discouraged, persuading particularly the young, in an aim to reduce disease, and death resulting from tobacco use. Towards this effort, the World Health Organization, the Bank, and other agencies are becoming partners to improve health, and to this end, an International Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is being negotiated, while further efforts are led by nongovernmental organizations, and nationally particularly as taxation is the most effective way to reduce tobacco use. The note also outlines evidence that results are best achieved within comprehensive measures to reduce tobacco use; that job losses in tobacco farming, and manufacturing, are to be offset by jobs in other sectors, responsive to changed expenditure patterns; and, that while most measures to reduce tobacco supply are ineffective, smuggling control is however, the key supply-side measure to pursue.
