16th World Conference on Tobacco or Health

The Conference theme of “Tobacco and Non-Communicable Diseases” highlights the fact that tobacco use is the most alarming risk factor for diseases causing millions of deaths every year and contributing to the enormous burden of NCDs all over the world. Through the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and MPOWER, considerable progress has been made since the WCTOH 2012 in Singapore, but many challenges remain.
