Understanding political perceptions of tobacco policies and stakeholders in France: A qualitative study with parliamentarians

In line with streams identified in the Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework (problem, policy, political), this study suggests that competing framings of tobacco, weak support for evidence-based measures and a political environment favorable to the tobacco industry, weakened prospects for sustained tobacco control. Our findings highlight the need for further research exploring narratives likely to influence policymakers' support for tobacco control measures.
