TOBACCO CONTROL AND TRADE DISPUTE

The book "Tobacco Control and Trade Dispute" of Sabahattin Kus, who is famous for his studies on tobacco and alcohol controls, examines the extent and disputes of the international trade agreements that threaten public health within the scope of tobacco control.

The advocates of tobacco control must thoroughly know about the disputes between free trade and public health and work toward exempting tobacco from trade agreements. Concerning free trade versus public health, there are disputes between WTO and World Health Organization (WHO). In this respect, The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is a convention having the potential of serving public health and protecting tobacco control policies. The book presents the disputes between WTO and WHO agreements.
