Una oportunidad perdida para acorralar al tabaco

elpais.com – 19 de Septiembre de 2015 – España

Las cajetillas de tabaco australianas son todas iguales: no se ven logos ni marcas comerciales. Solo imágenes disuasorias de bocas destrozadas por el cáncer o de pies gangrenados, y mensajes como “Fumar mata” o “Fumar causa ceguera”. Australia implantó el conocido como envasado genérico el 1 de diciembre de 2012. Las ventas de tabaco bajaron, así como el número de fumadores. Tras su ejemplo, Europa avanza también hacia el paquete neutro, con países como Francia, Reino Unido, Hungría, Irlanda o Finlandia que lo han anunciado como medida hacer menos atractivo el consumo a los jóvenes. España, sin embargo, se está quedando atrás, denuncian los expertos del Comité Nacional para la Prevención del Tabaquismo (CNPT).

Health bodies push for new law on tobacco

huntnewsnu.com – 17 de septiembre de 2015 – Thailand

Six key public health organisations and allies Thursday vowed to support the new draft of Tobacco Control Act and called on the government and the National Legislative Assembly to push this law through to protect children and youth.

They also called on the lawmakers to see through the excuses and twisted facts provided by tobacco |firms and not let them interfere in the legislation procedure. 

At an academic conference in Chiang Mai province, the group also said that their campaign, via www.vote4tobaccolaw.com, had won over 12 million signatures as of Tuesday, and their target for 15 million signatures would easily be achieved when the law is up for deliberation in six months. 

The organisations behind the campaign include the Thai Public Health Club, the Mohanamai Network Foundation and the Health Professional Association of Thailand.
