ABSTRACT

Tobacco control research is of great significance in tobacco control.However, there are not many studies related to tobacco control policies and practices in China.This paper proposes research directions in six different aspects of MPOWER strategies which aimed to reduce the demand for tobacco, with regard to monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies, protecting people from second-hand smoking, offering help to quit smoking, warning about the dangers of tobacco, enforcing bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, as well as raising tobacco taxes.The suggestions provide reference for future research in the field of tobacco control.
