Health advocacy strategies to influence policy-making on and regulation of new and emerging tobacco and nicotine products in Latin America and the Caribbean

Applying the policy dystopia model on new and emerging tobacco and nicotine products provides a better understanding of how health advocates can pre-empt industry strategies to undermine WHO FCTC implementation. Unified transnational cooperative and coordinated health advocacy strategies to educate people can strengthen efforts. Promoting WHO FCTC obligations and COP decisions appears to support regulation on new and emerging tobacco and nicotine products and should be replicated elsewhere.
