The tobacco epidemic in our part of the

world

In the West Pacific Region

There are an estimated 430 million smokers or about one third of the world's smokers (a fourth of the world’s population)

Highest rates of male smoking, and the fastest increase of tobacco use among women and young people.

It is estimated that two people die every minute from tobacco-related disease

50% of women and children are exposed to second hand smoke

Slower rise of smoking among women

Has been attributed to social

disapproval of women who

smoke and to women’s lower

social and economic status.

RISKS: As women’s

empowerment continue, there

is potential link to increased

smoking among women and

to the ways in which the

tobacco industry is

capitalizing on societal

changes to target women.

Diseases caused

by smoking

20 |FCTC Workshop WPR- Fiji 2014

WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific

The tobacco industry has deliberately made smoking glamorous and the norm.

Few women are aware of

gender-specific health risks

◙ cervical cancer

◙ osteoporosis

◙ early menopause

◙ miscarriage

◙ ectopic pregnancy

◙ infertility

21 |FCTC Workshop WPR- Fiji 2014

WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific

Smoking during pregnancy

• Spontaneous abortion

• Ectopic pregnancy

• Low-birth weight babies

• Perinatal mortality

• Long-term effects on growth and development of the child

• AND carries a risk to the mother herself

Accounts for an increase in :

Pregnant women who smoke as few as 5 cigarettes per day are likely to have low birth weight babies

22 |FCTC Workshop WPR- Fiji 2014

Second Hand Smoke

We have a high tolerance for

second hand smoke exposure:

Of the 600 000 yearly deaths from

second hand smoke exposure---

167,000 or 28% are children

23 |FCTC Workshop WPR- Fiji 2014

Exposing an infant to

second-hand smoke

greatly increases the

child’s risk of:

• asthma

• pneumonia

• bronchitis

• fluid in the

middle ear

Associations between tobacco and TB

A Qualitative Systematic Review Jointly

Conducted by WHO and The Union in 2007

concluded that:

– A link between active and passive tobacco

smoking and TB outcomes such as infection,

response to treatment, relapse rates, and

mortality is evident.

– Active smoking is significantly associated with

recurrent TB and TB mortality.

Mechanisms for Tobacco Control

WHO Framework Convention on

Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC)

36 |FCTC Workshop WPR- Fiji 2014

WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific

Objective:“To protect present and future

generations from the devastating health, social,

environmental and economic consequences

of tobacco consumption and exposure to tobacco smoke …

to reduce continually and substantially the prevalence of tobacco use and

exposure to tobacco smoke.”

WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control:An evidence-based tool to save lives

World No Tobacco Day Poster 2011

37 |FCTC Workshop WPR- Fiji 2014

WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific

What is the WHO FCTC?

First global health treaty negotiated under the

auspices of WHO

Establishes tobacco control as a priority on the

public health agenda

Provides a political and legal platform for

adoption of sound, evidence based tobacco

control measures

Introduces a mechanism for firm country

commitment and accountability.

It is a dynamic model of global standard setting.

Raise Taxes on Tobacco (Art 6)

Raising the price

of tobacco

regularly is one

of the most

effective

tobacco control

measures

• On average, a 10% price increase on a pack of cigarettes would be expected to reduce demand for cigarettes by about 4% in high-income countries and by 4% to 5% in low- and middle-income countries

• Children and adolescents are also more sensitive to price increases than adults, allowing price interventions to have a significant impact on this age group.

EFFECT

• Price increase will have a negative effect on revenue

• Tax increase will have a negative effect in smugglingMYTH

• When tobacco taxes rise, tax revenues increase.

• High tobacco taxes are not the cause for increased smuggling.

Article 8 Protection from second

hand smoke

100% Smoke free policies

• The World Bank estimates that smoking restrictions reduce overall tobacco consumption by an estimated 4-10%.

• Smoke free workplaces may reduce overall tobacco consumption by as much as 29%.

• The number of cigarettes smoked by people who continue to smoke is also likely to fall.

EFFECT

• 100% tobacco-free public places damage profits of cafés and restaurantsMYTH

• Smoke-free laws do not damage the profits of catering and drinking establishments.

• Evidence has shown that smoke-free laws have no impact or a positive impact on sales and employment. Studies reporting a negative impact were commissioned by the tobacco industry.

• Smoke-free laws can help businesses improve their profits by increasing worker productivity – less breaks and absenteeism due to illness – and decreasing costs associated with permitting smoking, including medical and insurance costs.

• Smoke-free environments are good for health, business and the economy

Targeting Developing World Markets

Tobacco companies have adopted aggressive strategies to expand global trade

and achieve market penetration in developing countries and emerging market

economies

They entered Latin American markets in 1960s

Those of the newly industrialized economies of Asia in the 1980s

Markets of Africa, China, and Eastern Europe in the 1990s

Youth and women are the prime targets for these campaigns.
