WHO FCTC

The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is the response to the globalization of the tobacco

The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is the first international treaty negotiated under the auspices of WHO. It was adopted by the World Health Assembly on 21 May 2003 and entered into force on 27 February 2005. It has since become one of the most rapidly and widely embraced treaties in United Nations history. The WHO FCTC was developed in response to the globalization of the

tobacco epidemic and is an evidence-based treaty that reaffirms the right of all people to the highest standard of health. The Convention represents a milestone for the promotion of public health and provides new legal dimensions for international health cooperation.

🚭 Pictorial health warnings work.

Images speak louder than words — especially when it comes to showing the real dangers of to***co use. 🫁⚠️
Large, clear pictorial health warnings on to***co packaging can:
🔴 Remind people of the serious health risks every time they reach for a to***co product
🔴 Inform consumers about the harms caused by to***co use
🔴 Increase awareness of to***co-related diseases
🔴 Motivate people who smoke to consider quitting 💪

This is also reflected in Article 11 of the WHO Framework Convention on To***co Control, which calls on Parties to adopt effective health warnings on to***co packaging. The guidelines for Article 11 emphasize that warnings should be large, clear, visible, legible and, where appropriate, include pictures or other graphic elements.

🌍 Many countries have now introduced prominent pictorial health warnings covering a significant portion of to***co packs.

Because every pack is an opportunity to communicate one simple message:

To***co is dangerous. 🚭 Your health matters. ❤️

Many countries are enacting laws establishing smoke-free environments in enclosed workplaces and public spaces.

🌍 Article 8 of the WHO Framework Convention on To***co Control recognizes the importance of protecting people from exposure to to***co smoke.

🚫 There is no safe level of exposure to second-hand to***co smoke. Everyone has the right to breathe clean, smoke-free air — at work, in public places, on public transport, and in other shared spaces. 🫁❤️

🏢 Smoke-free policies help protect workers, children, families, and communities from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.

💰 High prices for to***co products help keep them out of reach of young people.

📈 Increasing taxes on to***co products makes them less affordable for vulnerable populations.

🌍 Article 6 of the WHO FCTC recognizes that price and tax measures are an important tool for reducing to***co consumption. It calls on countries to adopt tax and price policies on to***co products as a means of contributing to public health objectives, particularly by reducing to***co use among young people

🚭 Illicit trade in to***co products undermines public health, fuels criminal activity and deprives governments of vital revenue.

🌍 The Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in To***co Products provides countries with a framework to strengthen cooperation and tackle this global challenge.

🔗 Illicit trade in to***co, death, violence and poverty — it’s all connected.

🤝 Let’s work together.

⛓️‍💥 To break the chain.

🌍 And support the Protocol.

On 🌍👥, we must be clear: young people are not the to***co industry’s next market. 🚭 Our future is not their market. 🔮

The voices of young people are essential 🗣️✨ to building a healthier, more sustainable world 🌱🌎—one free from the harms of to***co and ni****ne products.

At COP11, we had the privilege of meeting many of the Global Youth Voices 🌍🧑‍🤝‍🧑, and we remain committed to listening to their ideas, experiences and determination. 💬💪 Young people are helping us understand how our world is changing, and they will shape the future of public health. ❤️‍🩹🌎

To***co and ni****ne companies continue to redesign products, flavours and marketing 📱🎯 to attract a new generation. We therefore call on Parties to the WHO FCTC to fully implement Article 13, including by addressing advertising, promotion and sponsorship across digital media, influencers, entertainment and sport 📲🎬🏅, in line with the newly adopted guidance on entertainment media.

We also call on Parties to uphold Article 5.3 🛡️ and protect public health policymaking from to***co industry interference.

Different contexts. Common aspirations. 🌍🤝 Our future is not their market. 🚭

📍 We are proud to be at the UNITE Parliamentarians Network for Global Health this week, where we will be launching a Community of Practice on the new UNITE Connect app and raising awareness about to***co.

🤝 This new community will provide a dedicated space for UNITE Members to continue the conversation on to***co control beyond and into parliaments around the world. 🌍

🏛️ Parliamentarians play a pivotal role in advancing to***co control by enacting legislation and policies that support the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on To***co Control (WHO FCTC). They also approve the budgets needed to achieve the Convention's objectives and hold governments accountable for protecting public health. ❤️

🌱 By engaging parliamentarians, the Secretariat of the WHO FCTC strengthens support for both the WHO FCTC and the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in To***co Products, helping to build healthier, fairer societies for everyone.

🌍✨ A healthier future is a shared success

Implementing Article 6 of the WHO Framework Convention on To***co Control — which focuses on to***co taxation — is a powerful win-win solution.

Strong, effective to***co taxes help reduce to***co use, protect people from to***co-related diseases, and generate valuable resources that governments can invest in health, development and communities.

When we prioritize to***co control, everyone benefits: healthier populations, stronger economies, and more sustainable futures. 💙

Article 6 shows that public health and economic progress can move forward together.

Together, we can build a world where prevention, protection, and prosperity go hand in hand. 🌱
