dc.description.abstractThere is interest in innovative means to charge tobacco companies for the unusual burdens it causes both society and governments. The study points out funding gaps at both country and global levels and the common challenge of insufficiency of data to accurately measure funding needs. Through innovative financing mechanisms like the Global Fund and UNITAID, the international community has already participated in contributing to global public goods to fight infectious diseases. There is a clear opportunity to integrate such experiences in tobacco control. A Solidarity Tax Levy (STL) and Tax on Repatriated Tobacco Profits (TRTP) may qualify as effective mechanisms.en
