民间社会一直是推动拉丁美洲和加勒比在烟草控制方面取得许多成就的引擎。然而，民间社会的作用并没有得到明确的认识。公民社会扮演着五个主要角色：倡导者、联盟建设者、循证信息提供者、监督者和服务提供者。该地区的民间社会在其中一些方面发挥的作用很弱，应该鼓励民间社会支持有益的社会变革。从事烟草控制工作的民间社会多年来不断发展，现在已变得更加专业化。《世卫组织烟草控制框架公约》和布隆伯格减少烟草使用倡议带来了重大变化，带来了积极和消极的后果。加强民间社会不仅支持烟草控制运动，而且还提供可在许多方面用于促进民主社会变革的能力。
Civil society has been the engine that has permitted many of the accomplishments seen in tobacco control in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the role of civil society is not clearly understood. Civil society plays five main roles: advocate, coalition builder, provider of evidence-based information, watchdog and service provider. Some of these roles are played weakly by civil society in the region and should be encouraged to support beneficial societal change. Civil society working in tobacco control has evolved over the years to now become more professionalized. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use have brought about significant change with positive and negative consequences. Strengthening civil society not only supports the tobacco control movement but it provides competencies that may be used in many ways to promote change in democratic societies.
