The tobacco control strategy is a comprehensive plan that aims to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use and its associated health risks. It includes measures to prevent smoking initiation, reduce smoking prevalence, and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke. Tobacco control strategies may involve public education campaigns, increased taxation, or regulation of the tobacco industry. The strategy also focuses on helping people quit smoking, and protecting individuals from the harms of secondhand smoke. Tobacco control efforts are important for reducing the burden of tobacco-related illnesses and deaths, and can help improve overall public health.

The tobacco control strategy focuses on reducing the health harms caused by smoking and other tobacco products. It is a comprehensive plan that covers areas such as public education, taxation, smoking bans, advertising restrictions, and the development of smoke-free environments. The aim is to reduce tobacco use, particularly among young people, and to reduce the health risks associated with it. The strategy also seeks to help people quit smoking and to reduce the impact of second-hand smoke. The strategy is based on the evidence that tobacco use is a major cause of preventable death and disease, and that reducing tobacco use is the best way to reduce the burden of these diseases.

The World Health Organization recommends a comprehensive approach to tobacco control that includes five core strategies: creating awareness about the health risks of tobacco use; implementing bans or restrictions on tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship; providing support for people to quit tobacco use; raising taxes on tobacco products; and creating smoke-free places. Each of these strategies works together to reduce the demand for tobacco products and the health risks associated with their use.

The World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the world’s first public health treaty, and the main objective of the FCTC is to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use and related diseases. The FCTC provides a comprehensive set of global standards that are aimed at reducing tobacco consumption through a variety of measures such as taxes and prices, advertising bans, health warnings, and smoking bans. The FCTC also promotes research, capacity building, and public education to reduce the demand for tobacco products, as well as provide resources and support for those who have been adversely affected by tobacco use. In addition, the FCTC encourages the implementation of measures that protect non-smokers from exposure to second-hand smoke. Ultimately, the FCTC strives to reduce the global burden of tobacco-related diseases and death.
