Abstract

Only very slow progress is being made in other Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) interventions, such as alternative livelihoods for tobacco farmers, product regulation, education and curbing illicit trade in tobacco products. Under the auspices of “Corporate Social Responsibility” transnational tobacco companies contribute more than four times the budget of the FCTC for development assistance for tobacco control globally. New financial mechanisms for tobacco control are explored.
