Report on Tobacco Control in the Region of the Americas 2018

The report summarizes the progress reported up to December 31, 2017 in the six main measures for tobacco control prioritized by the MPOWER tool: monitor tobacco use and prevention policies (M)*, protect people from tobacco smoke (P), offer help to quit tobacco (O)*, warn about the dangers of tobacco (W), enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship (E), and raise taxes on tobacco (R)**, thus providing a regional image that details not only advances, but those measures that need to be promoted.
