What is it about?
Tremendous, although insufficient, progress has been made on tobacco control during the past twenty years. Nevertheless, there are still open challenges, and several measures remain to be implemented soon: increasing tobacco taxes, banning the use of additives, implementing plain packaging, banning the tobacco industry’s corporate social responsibility activities, and counteract the undermining tactics of the tobacco industry.

Perspectives
I think we can all agree that the reduction in tobacco use is not going fast enough. We propose some measures to expedite the decline. Agree or disagree with them. But, please, debate and propose ways to get rid of the scourge of tobacco use.
