Book Description
In 2021, over 350 000 individuals died from tobacco use and second-hand smoke in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Over 40% of respiratory cancers in LAC were attributable to tobacco use, and the smoking-attributable medical costs can reach up to 1.5% of GDP per year. The total social and economic costs of tobacco use significantly outweigh the tobacco tax revenue that is raised. The OECD Report “Tobacco Taxation in Latin America and the Caribbean” finds that countries in LAC have significant scope to improve the effectiveness of their tobacco tax policies and administration in order to reduce the prevalence and societal costs of tobacco use. The Report examines the trends and effects of tobacco consumption, analyses tobacco tax revenue, provides an extensive overview of tobacco tax policy design in the region, discusses the need for tobacco tax reform and offers tobacco tax policy recommendations. The Report also provides detailed information on tobacco taxation in 18 countries in LAC (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay).

Book Description
In June 2022, the United States (U.S.) Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, thereby eliminating the constitutional right to abortion. As a result, authority now resides with individual states to regulate abortion access. Currently, abortion is banned in several states, severely restricted in some, and protected in others. While the impact of the Dobbs decision has yet to be fully realized, it has severe implications for sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice, population health, and health equity nationally and globally. The impact of the ruling is expected to exacerbate existing health disparities and produce new inequities in sexual, reproductive, and maternal health outcomes, disproportionately affecting pregnant people who are already minoritized or disenfranchised (e.g., people of color, people with low incomes, young people, people living in rural areas, immigrants, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, justice-involved, and unhoused communities) living in states where abortion access has been banned or restricted. This Research Topic aims to elucidate actual short-term, potential long-term, global, and domestic health inequities produced by the Dobbs decision, and to describe efforts and interventions designed and undertaken to reduce health impacts and inequities in advance or directly after the decision. Recent data from countries that have restricted access to abortion over the past 30 years reveal that such laws actually increase rates of unsafe abortion, which in many instances leads to pregnant people becoming severely ill or dying from preventable causes. In an era of maternal health crisis for people of color in the U.S. and other disadvantaged populations around the world, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S. will have a reactionary impact on underserved and minoritized groups everywhere. The implications will be felt globally as the Dobbs decision has triggered the development of restrictive policies increasing inequalities by social and demographic characteristics. Many groups disproportionately experience social disadvantage, yielding socially distributed negative exposures including severely limited access to care. The goal of the article collection is to identify threats to, results of, and protections against inequities in reproductive health, rights, and justice. Devoting a Special Issue to this topic brings vital and robust discourse about reproductive justice and health inequity to the forefront of public health.
