烟草是当今世界上可预防的主要死亡原因之一。世界卫生组织(WHO)估计,每年约有600万人死于烟草。烟草流行具有破坏性,但可以通过强有力的政治措施加以预防。正因为如此,世界卫生大会于1996年请世卫组织启动历史上在世卫组织主持下谈判达成的第一项条约:《世卫组织烟草控制框架公约》。2005年,《公约》生效,改变了公共卫生的格局。卫生不再是国家卫生部的任务,而是财政、经济、环境、消费者保护和许多其他部门的任务。世卫组织烟草控制框架公约为各国政府提供了减少烟草供应和需求的蓝图。为了支持《公约》缔约方实施《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》,缔约方已经制定了若干条款的准则,并经缔约方大会通过,其他条款也将遵循。毫无疑问,《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》是联合国历史上得到最广泛接受的条约之一,有180个缔约方参与(截至2015年1月15日),其中许多缔约方正在一贯执行《世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约》。这一成功表明了加强烟草控制和减少烟草消费的持续全球政治意愿。
Tobacco is among the major preventable causes of death in the world today. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that tobacco kills about 6 million people yearly. The tobacco epidemic is devastating but preventable by strong political measures. This was the reason why in 1996 the World Health Assembly requested WHO to initiate the first treaty negotiated under the auspices of WHO in history: the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC). In 2005, this Convention entered into force and changed the landscape of public health. Health was no longer the task of national health ministries, but also of the ministries of finance, economy, environment, consumer protection and many others. The WHO FCTC presents a blueprint for governments to reduce both the supply and the demand for tobacco. To support the Parties to the Convention to implement the WHO FCTC, guidelines on several articles have already been developed by the Parties and adopted by the Conference of the Parties, with others to follow. There is no doubt: the WHO FCTC is one of the most widely embraced treaties in the history of the United Nations, with 180 Parties involved (as of 15 January 2015), and many of them are implementing the WHO FCTC consistently. This success demonstrates sustained global political will to strengthen tobacco control and to reduce tobacco consumption.
