WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2011

This report is the third in a series of WHO periodic reports about the extent and character of the epidemic and measures to stop it. It presents the latest global and country data on the prevalence of tobacco use and on the impact of the package of demand-reduction measures known by their acronym MPOWER.

The report has a particular focus on the importance of large graphic health warnings on tobacco packages and of anti-tobacco mass media campaigns.
