Résumé :
This series of case studies displays the art of the possible. They showcase what can be done, given determination, effort and goodwill, when a country responds to the challenge posed by the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) and sets itself the task of implementing one or several the articles in a national context.
The story of Romania:
During 45 years of communism, Romania did not have any tobacco control laws. In the 1980s, tobacco control advocacy had an unfavourable reputation, as it was seen as a manifestation of communism advocating elimination of the last pleasures and aspiration to the western lifestyle. Despite a long history of pro-smoking policy, Romania became the second country in the WHO European Region to introduce pictorial warnings on cigarette packages.
