ABSTRACT

This paper reports a review into the current state of tobacco use, governance and national commitment for control, and current intervention frameworks in place to reduce the use of tobacco among the populations of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states and Yemen. It further reviews structured policy-oriented interventions (in line with the MPOWER package of 6 evidence-based tobacco control measures) that represent government actions to strengthen, implement and manage tobacco control programmes and to address the growing epidemic of tobacco use. Our findings show that tobacco control in the GCC countries has witnessed real progress over the past decades. These are still early days but they indicate steps in the right direction. Future investment in implementation and enforcement of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, production of robust tobacco control legislation and the establishment of universally available tobacco cessation services are essential to sustain and strengthen tobacco control in the GCC region.

ABSTRACT

This paper reports a review into the current state of tobacco use, governance and national commitment for control, and current intervention frameworks in place to reduce the use of tobacco among the populations of the Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC] member states and Yemen. It further reviews structured policy-oriented interventions [in line with the MPOWER package of 6 evidence-based tobacco control measures] that represent government actions to strengthen,implement and manage tobacco control programmes and to address the growing epidemic of tobacco use. Our findings show that tobacco control in the GCC countries has witnessed real progress over the past decades. These are still early days but they indicate steps in the right direction. Future investment in implementation and enforcement of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, production of robust tobacco control legislation and the establishment of universally available tobacco cessation services are essential to sustain and strengthen tobacco control in the GCC region


Le présent article expose un état des lieux de la consommation de tabac, de la gouvernance, de l'engagement national dans la lutte antitabac, et les cadres d'intervention actuellement en place destinés à réduire la consommation de tabac dans les populations des Etats membres du Conseil de Coopération du Golfe et du Yémen. II examine également les interventions structurées pour l'élaboration de politiques [conformément au programme MPOWER qui est compose de six mesures de lutte antitabac fondées sur des données probantes] qui représentent des actions gouvernementales destinées à renforcer, mettre en oeuvre et gérer des programmes de lutte antitabac et à s'attaquer à l'épidémie croissante de tabagisme. Nos résultats révèlent que la lutte antitabac dans les pays membres du Conseil de Coopération du Golfe a réalisé des progrès tangibles au cours des dernières décennies. Toutefois, il ne s'agit que d'un début montrant la voie à suivre. De nouveaux investissements dans la mise en oeuvre et l'application de la Convention-cadre pour la lutte antitabac, la proposition d'une législation antitabac solide et l'offre de services de sevrage tabagique d'accès universel sont essentiels pour appuyer et renforcer la lutte antitabac dans la région du Conseil de Coopération du Golfe
