dc.description.abstractThis detailed study evaluates compatibility of international free trade agreements with the provisions of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), especially in regard to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and MERCOSUR. MERCOSUR is a free-market zone and custom union formed by Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Venezuela. In these countries the tobacco industry has a strong presence and influences public health policies through lobbying. Even when tobacco products are more harmful to health than most other products, the World Bank considers that restrictions on tobacco would likely prompt retaliatory action that could reduce economic growth and incomes.en
