The book is published as a companion to the <a href=\"http:\/\/tobaccoatlas.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TobaccoAtlas.org<\/a> website, which includes\u00a0country fact sheets, considerable new content, frequent updates and comprehensive data, among other components.<\/p>\n<p>Among the authors of this new edition\u00a0is 2016 Emerging Leader Michal Stoklosa.\u00a0Michal is Senior Economist, Taxation &amp; Health in the Economic and Health Policy Research program at the American Cancer Society, and a PhD Candidate in Economics at the University of Cape Town. He conducts research and trains policymakers and health advocates primarily in issues around tobacco taxation and illicit trade in tobacco products. In 2016 he was involved in the Emerging Leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/world-heart-federation.org\/projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FACTC project<\/a>, which\u00a0aims to help policymakers establish sustainable mechanisms to fund and accelerate the comprehensive implementation of the W<a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/fctc\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HO Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite positive changes in tobacco control since the first edition of the Tobacco Atlas was published in 2000, with the adoption of the FCTC and overall global tobacco consumption starting to decrease, changes are uneven across the globe. Tobacco use has been increasing in some countries and within some sub-populations, particularly among the most vulnerable. More broadly, the tobacco industry continues its nearly unfettered assault on public health. Some governments, despite having tools to improve tobacco control, continue to struggle to effect change.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlas lays out the case for tobacco control and emphasizes the proven solutions that many in the public health community are actively utilizing with considerable success. The authors argue that while the world continues to face a very serious challenge, the tools to make a difference are available. The authors argue that to achieve sustainable goals, the global health community must work together to make sure tobacco\u00a0control helps lead to a healthier, tobacco-free future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sixth edition of the\u00a0Tobacco Atlas, published by the American Cancer Society, was launched last week at the\u00a02018 World Conference on Tobacco or Health in South Africa, on a continent that is a principal target of the tobacco industry\u2019s vigorous efforts to recruit new users.
