Taxation and Pricing Policies
Higher taxes on tobacco products which lead to price increases. This reduces affordability and consumption of tobacco, most effective in deterring price-sensitive smokers, such as teenagers and low-income individuals.
Age Restriction Laws
Age restrictions prevent the sale of tobacco products to individuals under a certain age, typically 18 or 21. Efficacy includes reducing youth access to tobacco and lowering rates of smoking initiation among adolescents.
Tobacco Cessation Programs
Programs that provide assistance and resources to help individuals quit smoking. They increase the likelihood of successful cessation through counseling, medication, and support groups.
Smoke-Free Policies
Smoke-free policies prohibit smoking in public places, including workplaces, restaurants, and bars. These policies protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke and can decrease overall smoking prevalence.
Mass Media Campaigns
Large-scale communication efforts aimed at educating the public about the dangers of tobacco use. They encourage quitting among smokers and discourage people from starting to smoke, especially effective if emotionally engaging.
Plain Packaging
The standardization of tobacco product packaging by removing brand imagery. It lowers the attractiveness of tobacco products, curtails brand appeal, and enhances the visibility of health warnings.
Health Warning Labels
Mandatory labels on tobacco packaging that display health risks associated with smoking. They increase awareness, promote smoking cessation, and deter initiation. Graphic warning labels are particularly effective.
Illicit Trade Reduction
Measures to combat the illegal sale and distribution of tobacco products. Effective in protecting public health, ensuring tax revenues, and controlling the market.
Product Regulation
Regulations that control the content, design, and emissions of tobacco products. Aim to reduce their attractiveness and addictiveness. Includes mandates for reduced nicotine content.
Tobacco Advertising Bans
This measure involves the prohibition of marketing and advertisements for tobacco products. Reduces tobacco product visibility, decreases smoking initiation, and contributes to the denormalization of smoking.
