Abstract
Insufficiency of financial resources for tobacco control at the country level is one of the most frequently reported constraints mentioned by Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) parties, along with tobacco industry interference and weak intersectoral coordination. In line with “polluter pays” principles and the spirit of making tobacco industry accountable as enshrined in Article 19 of the FCTC, along with the advent of new technologies and private sector involvement, new tools and opportunities to collect and disburse funds can evolve. The Conference of States Parties (COP) could create space to discuss further innovative financing for tobacco control.
