US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty
1. The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty
that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health
and
Human
Services
Secretary
Tommy
Thompson
signed
the
Framework
Convention
on
Tobacco
Control
(FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the
US can implement its provisions.
2. The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the
World Health Assembly,
including
the United States, last year.
Countries that ratify it would
be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
3. For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings
on
at
least
30%
of
the
front
and
back
of
every
pack.
The
treaty
calls
for
higher
tobacco
taxes,
restrictions
on
smoking
in
public
places,
and
more
promotion
of
tobacco
prevention
and
cessation
programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for
countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an out fight ban.
4. The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that
tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,
000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in
the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco
will kill 10 million people each year.
5. The treaty must
be
ratified by at
least
40
countries
before
it can take effect.
So far,
