Abstract
Senegal is part of the African Tobacco Situational Analyses (ATSA) initiative. Due to an economically strong tobacco industry lobby and media support of the industry, most anti-smoking measures taken in the 1980’s were rolled back in subsequent legislation. Consequently, there are few tobacco control measures in Senegal. Currently, tobacco control advocates have been focusing efforts on an attempt to promote smoke-free policies in the influential religious centre of the city of Touba. As of early 2010, a team of proponents of tobacco control is pursuing new comprehensive legislation within a Ministry of Health working group in Senegal.
