Résumé :
This guide is designed primarily for use by nongovernmental advocates, especially in developing nations, who are guiding tobacco control laws and regulations into implementation. As smoke-free laws gain momentum and pass all over the world, we, as advocates, want to help ensure that they are enforced and that they do what they are intended to do.
But one caution before using this guide should be noted here: In some locations, smoke-free laws may be so poorly written that they are unenforceable or inadequate to protect the public’s health even if enforced. In such cases, the energy of advocates needs to be focused on achieving strong new laws, not wasted on efforts to enforce weak ones. This is why our American Cancer Society/UICC Tobacco Control Strategy Planning Guide #3 - Enacting Strong Smoke-Free Laws: The Advocate's Guide to Legislative Strategies comes before this guide.
