Comprehensive review of Pacific Island countries’ reports on the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (2007–2023): progress, challenges and opportunities
While the PICs have ratified the FCTC and made strides to fight tobacco use and its consequences, they still face significant challenges to fully implement the FCTC. Building local and regional capacity and capability to implement and monitor progress with tobacco control policies is essential to reducing tobacco-related death and disease in the PICs.
