Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | 67 p. This report summarizes the action mapped out during Europe’s first conference on tobacco policy. The conference, which united some of the most experienced scientists, social scientists, and experts on health education and public health policy in Europe, drew unprecedented force and determination from a number of developments in research and public opinion. The book opens with a charter asserting the moral right of citizens to be protected not only from the diseases tobacco causes but also from the severe hazards of breathing air polluted by tobacco smoke. To make it possible for every person in Europe to enjoy the rights stipulated in the charter, the book sets out 10 precise strategies for a smoke-free Europe, further concluding that a tobacco control policy that encompassed these 10 strategies could bring about a significant reduction of tobacco consumption in Europe and eventually eliminate the diseases caused by tobacco. Measures proposed in this model tobacco policy, which stresses the importance of strong legislation, include a total ban on all forms of direct and indirect promotion of tobacco products, a 1% levy on all tobacco sales in every country of Europe, use of funds from the levy for health promotion and to buy out tobacco industry sponsorship of sports and cultural events, regular increases in tobacco taxation, complete protection of non-smokers, mandatory non-smoking education as part of school curricula throughout Europe, and prohibition of smoking in public transport, schools, health care facilities and any meeting held by a health or medical association. |
