Tobacco Control
Tobacco control is a public health practice used to reduce the health risks associated with the use of tobacco products. It includes a variety of evidence-based strategies such as taxation, advertising bans, smoke-free workplaces, and public education campaigns to reduce tobacco use. It has been shown to reduce tobacco-related morbidity and mortality, and improve the overall quality of life of those who have quit. The World Health Organization has identified tobacco control as an effective tool in reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Tobacco control initiatives have been implemented in many countries across the world, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of smokers and the associated health risks.
