The high annual number of tobacco-attributable deaths in the Region highlights the need for accelerating progress in reducing tobacco use. Implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and MPOWER policy package needs prioritisation at the country level. Tobacco cessation services, supply-side measures and policies to counter tobacco industry interference should be strengthened. Further work is needed to monitor progress towards FCTC implementation and analyse the impacts of policies on tobacco-related outcomes, including attributable mortality and disease burden, to inform advocacy efforts
