- It is 10 years since the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control entered into force. This binding treaty, the first to be negotiated under the auspices of WHO, is widely recognized as a major milestone in global health. The treaty's legal framework has enabled the rapid adoption of key instruments to promote its implementation. Challenges in fully implementing the treaty have also been revealed in recent years. Another observation from the treaty era in tobacco control is the growing ambition of governments and societies to end the tobacco epidemic. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control offers a model for addressing the negative effects of globalization on health.
