Résumé :
This advisory note, formulated by the WHO study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation (TobReg), addresses the growing concerns about the increasing prevalence and potential health effects of tobacco smoking using waterpipes, also called "waterpipe tobacco smoking". The purposes of the advisory are to provide guidance to WHO and its Member States, to inform regulatory agencies in their efforts to implement the provisions of the WHO framework Convention on Tobacco Control concerning education and communications, and to educate consumers about the risks of waterpipe smoking. The advisory also provides guidance to researchers and research agencies interested in facilitating a more thorough understanding of the health effects of tobacco waterpipe smoking, and to those engaged in developing tobacco smoking prevention and cessation programmes so that such programmes accommodate the unique aspects of waterpipe smoking.
