Global implementation of tobacco demand reduction measures specified in Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

We assessed changes in tobacco demand reductions measures over 22 years in 193 countries.By using internal tobacco industry documents, we were able establish a baseline before the FCTC negotiations.Unlike previous studies we included four tobacco demand reductions measures: tobacco taxes, smoking bans, health warning labels and tobacco advertising ban, The limitation of the study is that we do not have data to describe if demand reduction measures are actually enforced or what their effect on tobacco consumption is.
