Identifying key barriers and facilitators to implementing a WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control-guided tobacco control policy in Mexico
The tobacco industry remains the biggest barrier to implementation, using legal and economic arguments to weaken regulations and shifting venues to the judicial branch to undermine enforcement efforts. Lack of resources and legal delays remain key barriers. Financial and technical support and communicating the economic importance of tobacco control can help uphold strong regulations. More efforts are needed to educate judicial systems to protect policies.
