Abstract

The paper tracks processes leading to advocacy, adoption by media, health and law sectors, policy making, and final ratification of anti-tobacco legislation in Lebanon (Law 174, 2011). The American University of Beirut Tobacco Control Research Group embarked on a project to build knowledge and public support for tobacco control policy in Lebanon and to develop common agendas and priorities for tobacco control among researchers in the region. Following a concerted advocacy campaign, the group was able to disseminate research evidence and inform the policymaking process. The regional research network approach also succeeded in building momentum for waterpipe tobacco research.
