What have we learned from tobacco?
Lesson # 1
There is no “magic bullet”
![Page 18: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Lesson #1
A comprehensive strategy is needed to change social norms and support individual behaviour change
This consists of: Programming Policy Mass media Research Community development Industry “denormalization”
![Page 19: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Lesson # 3
Understand the politics
![Page 23: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Politics
Multinational industries have enormous resources and the ability to influence policy-makers
They can argue on economic grounds as well as from a health standpoint (e.g., loss of jobs)
Ability to provide jobs and manufacturing
A problem “solved” in the developed world may emerge in developing countries
They are always several steps ahead of us (e.g., waterpipe, harm-reduction tobacco products)
Industries will often challenge “health” research
![Page 24: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

South Africa
A “policy window”
A “champion” in the Minister of Health
Strong advocacy
A sound research base
“Framing” as both a health and economic issue
![Page 25: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Lessons Learned: 6 Case Studies
Legislative successes won in the face of vigorous opposition from an industry striving to protect its profits and market
Key role played by NGOs and charismatic individuals with commitment and dedication
Coalitions brought new skills and perspectives
Effective advocacy has to be learned
Lack of an organizational home and minimal level of funding make it hard to operate effectively
![Page 30: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Lessons Learned: 6 Case Studies (cont’d)
Strong political support and political champions are crucial to success
Significant transformations in social norms can occur
The media can have a powerful role in influencing popular opinion
Understand the political framework and legislative timetable of the country
Legislation must be coupled with attention to implementation and enforcement
![Page 31: Insert your image here. 2 Tobacco Control Research: Local Priority Setting and a Global Vision Confronting the Epidemic: A Global Agenda for Tobacco.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d435503460f94a1fa99/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Lessons Learned: 6 Case Studies (cont’d)
Sound research is needed for good policy decisions
Policies and strategies must be comprehensive
It may be necessary to bring together diverse interest groups (e.g., Ministries of Health and Finance)
Even when the situation has seemed hopeless, progress has been made
Persistence is essential
