摘要:What is already known about this topic? Each year, tobacco use is responsible for approximately 8 million deaths worldwide. What is added by this report? Analyses of data from 11 countries that conducted at least two rounds of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey showed progress in tobacco control efforts in terms of tobacco use; exposure to secondhand smoke; contemplated quitting because of cigarette package warning labels; and exposure to tobacco advertising, promotions, and sponsorships. What are the implications for public health practice? Continued implementation and enforcement of proven tobacco control interventions and strategies at the country level, as outlined in the World Health Organization’s MPOWER strategies, can help reduce tobacco use, which is expected to reduce tobacco-related morbidity and mortality.
