Book Description
Examines the ways in which legislation - whether involving comprehensive national laws or personal litigation against the tobacco industry - is being used to reduce tobacco use & promote the goal of a tobacco-free society. Drawing upon over 250 studies conducted throughout the world, the book concentrates on the many promising new legislative strategies that have developed within a climate of opinion that regards tobacco & sidestream smoke as toxic substances, gives priority to the non-smoker's rights, & rejects the industry's freedom to promote an addictive, lethal product. By describing & analysing recent legislation, the book also provides a heartening account of both the spread of legislation & the reasons for its increased strength & effectiveness. The ten chapters which constitute the core of the book are organized to reflect two main categories of smoking control measures: those leading to changes in the production, manufacture, promotion, & sale of tobacco, & those designed to achieve changes in practice among smokers. Issued at a time when several national governments are making quantum leaps forward in the legislative attack on tobacco use, the book should prove especially useful as both a source of encouragement & a practical guide to action.

Book Description
This book represents an important and timely element in WHO's efforts to combat the world smoking epidemic. It contains a selection of national laws, regulations, and other legislative instruments that have been enacted by countries and subnational jurisdictions to combat smoking (and other forms of tobacco use). Most of the texts originally appeared in the WHO quarterly journal, the International Digest of Health Legislation. The scope of the legislation contained in this volume is broad indeed. It covers such aspects as: control of advertising, sponsorship, and other forms of sales promotion; health warnings; control of harmful substances in tobacco products; restrictions on smoking in public places, public transport, and the workplace; anti-smoking programmes directed to children and adolescents; fiscal and economic measures; and institutional mechanisms for policy development and coordination. Readers will be interested to learn that WHO will shortly be publishing a comprehensive update of Roemer's Legislative Action to Combat the World Smoking Epidemic (published by WHO in 1982 in English, French and Arabic editions).
