“…To curb the use of tobacco products, tobacco taxation remains the most cost-effective anti-smoking intervention [28, 29]; however, strong political opposition has remained a major barrier to wider implementation. In addition to increasing taxes on tobacco, other strategies that may be successful in reducing tobacco use include public advertisements, legislation to ban smoking in public places [30, 31], and pictorial warnings on tobacco products, which has been successful in both high-income and middle-income countries [32, 33]. …”

Four non-communicable diseases—cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer— account for over 60 % of all deaths globally. In recognition of this significant epidemic, the United Nations set forth a target of reducing the four major NCDs by 25 % by 2025. Cardiovascular disease alone represents half of these deaths and is the leading cause of death globally, representing as much as 60 % of all deaths in regions such as Eastern Europe. In response, the WHO set specific targets on conditions and risk factors and changes in the health systems structure in order to achieve the goals. The focus was set on lifestyle risk factors—physical activity, salt-intake, and tobacco—and established conditions—obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Health system efforts to improve medical treatment of high risk are encouraged. Efforts to achieve the goal are being promoted by leading international CVD organizations.

“…39 Studies reviewing the cost-effectiveness of other tobacco control policies have reported that tobacco control interventions generally, including public smoking bans, are highly cost-effective. 40,41 Many US campuses have implemented less than full smoke-free policies. Studies of 25-foot buffers near building entrances have shown this to be ineffective at reducing SHS exposure.…”

“…For example, we simulated the effects of higher mortality among smokers (and former smokers) on future smoking prevalence, which the SimSmoke model does not. In addition, using national data linkage studies from New Zealand,25 26 we could model the mortality risks by age, sex, level of smoking and ethnicity for the New Zealand population and project these risks forward in time based on historic ethnic-specific trends; rather than relying on the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study II from the 1980s to define relative risks of mortality among current and former smokers (as in previous modelling for Australia18 and Vietnam27). …”
