Case for investment in tobacco cessation
This study aimed to estimate the return on investments of three population-level tobacco cessation strategies and three pharmacological interventions. The analysis included 124 low- and middle-income countries, and assumed a 10-year investment period (2021–2030). The results indicate that all six cessation programmes could help about 152 million tobacco users quit and save 2.7 million lives during 2021–2030. If quitters were followed until 65 yea…

Correlates of compliance with national comprehensive smoke-free laws
The results show the importance of the depth of the enforcement infrastructure and effort represented by the degree to which the local government is involved in enforcement. They also show the significance of fighting corruption in the enforcement process, including the attempts of the tobacco industry to undermine the process, to achieve high levels of compliance with the law. The results point out to the need to invest minimal but essential enf…
O5-1 Smoke-free legislation
In recent years, legislation prohibiting or restricting smoking in public places (smoke-free legislation) has been enacted in an increasing number of countries. Where the effects of the legislation have been evaluated, most notably in Scotland, it has been found to have had very positive effects, measurably reducing the exposure of non-smokers to secondhand smoke and resulting in unexpectedly large and wide-ranging benefits for population health.…

Globalisation and public health
At the dawn of the 21st century, globalisation is a word that has become a part of everyday communication in all corners of the world. It is a concept that for some holds the promise of a new and brighter future, while for others it represents a threat that needs to be confronted and counteracted. In the area of public health, a wide range of claims have been made about the various impacts, both positive and negative, that can be attributed to gl…
Tobacco control in an era of trade liberalisation
Action in Washington DC
Towards a more sustainable globalisation
In her article Fran Baum is correct in pointing out that the political complexities of our globalised world must be taken into account by public health professionals.1 Global health futures are directly or indirectly associated with the transnational economic, social, and technological changes taking place in the world. Issues such as poverty, equity, and justice must be firmly rooted in any discussions aimed at improving global public health. Ho…
The Globalisation of Public Health Ethics
The globalization of public health, II
The transnationalization of disease and health risks will require global awareness, analysis, and action and indicates a need for global cooperation. Transnational actions must be built on firm local and national foundations, but they also require new forms of transnational collaboration in order to minimize risks and build on opportunities. In a world characterized by the globalization of public health, countries and communities will need to loo…
The globalization of public health, I
The globalization of public health poses new threats to health but also holds important opportunities in the coming century. This commentary identifies the major threats and opportunities presented by the process of globalization and emphasizes the need for transnational public health approaches to take advantage of the positive aspects of global change and to minimize the negative ones. Transnational public health issues are areas of mutual conc…
