The question of how to quit smoking is being asked on a global scale. On the one hand, huge turnover and income from the tobacco industry, on the other – the health of the nation. Conflict of interest is inevitable, so you need to compromise. Such a need has led to the emergence of the International Convention on Tobacco Control. As of the beginning of 2019, the organization has 181 countries.

The scope of the Convention includes:

•  financial measures related to increasing the cost of tobacco products and taxation;
• events of a non-price type aimed at reducing the popularity of tobacco;
• restricted smoking areas;
• tracking and adjusting the composition of the product;
• requirements for disclosing the composition of the product at the legal level to detect toxicity and notify the public about it;
• drawing warnings on the dangers of nicotine;
• public education and awareness;
• reduction, up to a ban, of tobacco advertising;
• measures to reduce supplies.

Russia has been a member of the convention since 2008. A ban on smoking in public places and at work has been introduced in the CIS countries, and it is also forbidden to sell products to minors. In different countries, ways to combat smoking are different. For example, in the United States, the cost of a health insurance package for smokers is higher than the standard.

There are bans on smoking in public places, and fines can reach up to $1000. In Italy, having smoked a cigarette in the wrong place, you have to pay from € 25 to € 250. The fine will be doubled if there was a child or a pregnant woman nearby. In Finland, a law is in force according to which the owners of supermarkets and shops are not allowed to display tobacco products on display. Those wishing to buy a pack of cigarettes selects a product from the catalog. And in Japan, they practice the method of remuneration – non-smoking employees of companies receive additional bonuses. The most popular control methods are raising prices and taxes, banning the sale to minors, restricting smoking areas, warning labels on packages. Such a policy had a positive effect on the health of the population: cases of heart attacks decreased by one third and cases of pulmonary diseases decreased significantly, the number of people engaged in fitness increased.
