Smoking cessation should have more emphasis within Tobacco Control? The case against

Abstract

Tobacco is the only consumer product today that, when used as intended rather than by accident, kills half of its regular consumers. This led to the ratification of an international treaty prepared by the World Health Organisation, the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), now ratified by 164 countries. Within this historical framework, it may be asked what place is occupied by support for tobacco cessation in the worldwide fight against smoking. Even if the efficacy of treatment of tobacco dependence is proven, it is not the most cost-effective method of Tobacco Control and its efficiency is still questionable.
