In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed efficient and inexpensive “best buy” interventions for prevention of tobacco use including: tax increases, smoke-free indoor workplaces and public places, bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, and health information and warnings. This paper analyzes the extent to which tobacco use prevention policies in Cameroon align with the WHO tobacco “best buy” interventions. It further explores the context, content, formulation and implementation level of these policies.application/pdfenHEALTH POLICY ANALYSISTOBACCO CONTROL AND PREVENTIONCAMEROONCASE STUDYWALT AND GILSON'S POLICY ANALYSIS TRIANGLEJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
