Abstract
The project assessed availability of smoking cessation medications (SCM), sale of cigarettes, and their corresponding advertising in Guatemala′s pharmacies, compared by pharmacy type. This is a one-pager that summarizes the research study which included a survey of 505 pharmacies. Cigarette advertising was more prevalent than advertising for SCM. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) provisions have not been implemented in Guatemalan pharmacies.
