Description
In the South-East Asia Region, 10 countries have tobacco control legislation in line with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (‎WHO FCTC)‎ and have implemented its provisions. However, they need to accelerate their activities to meet the global target of 30% reduction in tobacco use by 2025. The High-Level Preparatory (‎HLP)‎ Meeting held in the WHO Regional Office in New Delhi from 29 June to 2 July 2015 reviewed the attached working paper and made the following recommendations: Actions by Member States (‎1)‎ Adopt and enforce tobacco control laws, rules and regulations. (‎2)‎ Enhance awareness on hazards of all types of tobacco products, effective control measures to reduce tobacco consumption and counter interference by tobacco industry in tobacco control measures. (‎3)‎ Strengthen taxation systems on tobacco products in Member States to reduce tobacco consumption and increase government revenues. (‎4)‎ Enhance surveillance, research and cessation of tobacco use. Actions by WHO Support Member States in: (‎1)‎ countering tobacco industry interference with tobacco control; (‎2)‎ conducting multisectoral workshops to accelerate implementation of WHO FCTC; (‎3)‎ disseminating information on hazards of smokeless tobacco use, electronic cigarettes and other emerging products, measures to regulate them; and (‎4)‎ conducting more studies on the economic impact of tobacco use. The working paper and HLP recommendations are submitted to the Ministerial Round Table to be held during the Sixty-eighth Session of the Regional Committee for its consideration.
