El papel del Comité Nacional para la Prevención del Tabaquismo

Abstract

Tobacco use is a serious public health problem because of the serious health impact on morbidity and premature mortality of both those who use it directly and those who are involuntarily exposed to tobacco smoke; and by reducing their consumption to the most disadvantaged sectors of the population. It therefore requires a multidisciplinary approach. The tobacco epidemic can be reversed if the guidelines of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, ratified in 2005, are implemented. 37 scientific, health, professional and professional societies join forces with the National Tobacco Prevention Committee to promote the implementation of the strategies of the International Convention Nursing is actively represented in this Committee since 2001.
