13.9 Concluding Remarks

A฀ survey฀ of฀ the฀ facts฀ and฀ data฀ presented฀ by฀ the฀ tobacco฀ industry฀ and฀ necessarily฀ •฀ supplemented฀by฀government฀agencies฀to฀ensure฀a฀true฀picture฀reveals฀that฀the฀number฀ of฀adolescent฀smokers฀can฀be฀reduced฀only฀by฀tough฀international฀legislation฀ [113] ฀to฀ regulate฀a฀variety฀of฀issues:฀manufacture,฀trade฀including฀cigarette฀smuggling,฀adver- tising฀and฀distribution฀of฀tobacco฀products฀and฀promotional฀items,฀especially฀to฀young฀ people. In฀particular,฀the฀international฀community฀and฀its฀politicians฀must฀ensure฀that฀economi- •฀ cally฀weak฀countries฀do฀not฀become฀a฀target฀for฀the฀activities฀of฀the฀tobacco฀industry. Every฀single฀day,฀3,000฀adolescents฀in฀the฀USA฀are฀recruited฀to฀the฀ranks฀of฀smokers.฀If฀ •฀ the฀number฀of฀smokers฀is฀not฀reduced฀in฀the฀years฀ahead,฀the฀lamentable฀fact฀is฀that฀10฀ million฀people฀annually฀will฀die฀from฀tobacco-attributable฀causes฀worldwide฀by฀the฀ year฀2025. The฀medical฀profession฀and฀politicians฀must฀not฀stand฀idly฀and฀watch฀this฀trend฀unfold. •฀ References ฀ 1.฀Yach฀D,฀Bettcher฀D฀2000฀Globalisation฀of฀tobacco฀industry฀inluence฀and฀new฀global฀responses.฀
