The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)

The FCTC is the first international treaty negotiated under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO), aimed at curbing tobacco-related deaths and disease.

The FCTC was unanimously adopted by 192 nations at the World Health Assembly (WHA) on 21st May 2003. Among its many tobacco control measures, the FCTC requires countries to impose restrictions on tobacco advertising, sponsorship and promotion, establish new packaging and labeling of tobacco products with strong health warnings, establish clean indoor air controls by imposing restrictions on smoking in public places and strengthening legislation to clamp down on illicit trade in tobacco products.
