The document discusses the growing global tobacco epidemic and the international response. It outlines how tobacco companies have expanded globally through free trade policies and marketing. The tobacco industry lobbies governments to protect profits. Tobacco use impoverishes individuals, families and countries by reducing spending on necessities, increasing healthcare costs, and lowering productivity. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) was established as the first international public health treaty to address these issues. Civil society organizations play a key role in supporting FCTC ratification and implementation.

Notas del editor
- Topic is treaties and civil society- I am a lawyer who spent most of my career as a litigator and government regulator- I am a real latecomer to foreign relations- that is my husband’s area- he teaches international relations. But after I retired from the government I was offered the opportunity to help create an international NGO coalition in support of the nascent Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Having spent almost 30 years in the US governmental bureaucracy- I figured how much more difficult could it be. Well- I had a four-year education awaiting me. Issues were diverse- not just learning how a treaty was negotiated- what were the issues- is a multilateral treaty the best mechanism for health- Treaty may be first- health but it startd with many economic issues- industry wantd to be a part as they usually are, but seen as disease vector, needed client governments- US, Germany and Japan. North south, is it a developed world life style issue or corporate greed.
