Using MPOWER policies to address tobacco impact on the environment
Abstract
[EXTRACT]. Beyond the call to governments and policymakers, World No Tobacco Day 2022 established an opportunity to create, or strengthen, partnerships between academics, advo- cates, youth and others in tobacco control and environmental protection, mobilizing a wider group of stakeholders in advo- cacy for a healthier planet. Strengthening the implementation of the WHO FCTC, including Article 18, will provide additional momentum to address the environmental harms of tobacco.
