This introductory guide on legislation for tobacco control represents an important step     in strengthening global and national tobacco control programmes. Tobacco now kills 4.9 m    illion people a year and the figure continues to rise. The recent conclusion of the negoti    ations of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) presents a strong global complement to national and local legislative action for     tobacco control. Many developed and developing countries have also continually called for     the World Health Organization (WHO) to produce tools for the development of legislation in Member States This guide aims to meet such an important requirement.
These guidelines are part of a series of national capacity background manuals and tools     that the WHO Tobacco Free Initiative has developed specifically to support countries in their task of addressing the WHO FCTC implementation. To ensure that we had a broad range of views and different scenarios in the guide, which reflected experiences both from developing and developed countries, a consultation meeting was held in PAHO/Washington D.C. in June 2002 that brought together experts, lawyers, activists and national focal points. One     strategy that will be employed to expedite the implementation of this material will be its use in several regional and sub regional workshops to update and facilitate human resources training  for tobacco control at country level.
WHO and its Member States recognize that a lack of legislation or ineffective legislation combined with the failure to understand how vital the law making process is to successful     implementation hamper meaningful progress in containing the tobacco problem. Ad hoc tobacco control programmes cannot be sustained in the long term if they are not deeply rooted in
comprehensive tobacco control legislation including provision for adequate financing of actions.
This guide systematically discusses the information that will be needed to develop tobacco le    gislation. It can be applied to the enactment of legislation at the national, subnational and local levels. The guide considers the role of legislation, key terms and
concepts, capacity building, strategic choices in legislation, elements of comprehensive legislation, the drafting process, the legislative process, obstacles, implementation of legislation and evaluation. It also provides selected case studies of various national laws as well as an introductory discussion of international legal instruments pertaining to tobacco control.
