Tobacco control in the Sustainable Development Goals: a precarious inclusion?

Year: 2017

Type: letter

Abstract: The Lancet Public Health editorial in April, 2017, called for tobacco control to be “firmly anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.1 As development practitioners, we are cognisant that governments face tough resourcing and implementation decisions to achieve this ambitious agenda (17 goals and 169 targets). Despite inclusion of a specific target for implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC; target 3.a), there is a risk that tobacco control will remain a focus for the health community only.
