To describe the process of approval and implementation of a comprehensive smoke-free law in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, between 2005 and 2009.
Review of the Santa Fe smoke-free legislation, articles published in local newspapers and documentation on two lawsuits filed against the law, and interviews with key individuals in Santa Fe.
Efforts to implement smoke-free policies in Santa Fe began during the 1990s without success, and resumed in 2005 when the provincial Legislature approved the first 100% smoke-free subnational law in Argentina. There was no strong opposition during the discussions within the legislature. As in other parts of the world, pro-tobacco industry interests attempted to block the implementation of the law using well known strategies. These efforts included a controversy media campaign set up, the creation of a hospitality industry association and a virtual smokers' rights group, the introduction of a counterproposal seeking modification of the law, the challenge of the law in the Supreme Court, and the proposal of a weak national bill that would 'conflict' with the subnational law. Tobacco control advocates sought media attention as a strategy to protect the law.
Santa Fe is the first subnational jurisdiction in Latin America to have enacted a comprehensive smoke-free policy following the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. After 3 years of implementation, pro-tobacco industry forces failed to undermine the law. Other subnational jurisdictions in Argentina, as well as in Mexico and Brazil are following the Santa Fe example.
描述阿根廷圣达菲省在 2005 年至 2009 年期间批准和实施全面禁烟法的过程。
审查圣达菲禁烟立法、当地报纸上发表的文章以及针对该法律提起的两起诉讼的文件，并对圣达菲的关键人物进行采访。
20 世纪 90 年代，圣达菲开始努力实施禁烟政策，但没有成功，直到 2005 年，省立法机构批准了阿根廷首个 100%无烟的州级法律。在立法机构内部的讨论中，没有强烈的反对意见。与世界其他地区一样，烟草业利益集团试图使用众所周知的策略来阻止该法律的实施。这些努力包括精心策划的争议媒体宣传活动、成立一个酒店业协会和一个虚拟的吸烟者权利组织、提出一项寻求修改法律的反提案、在最高法院对该法律提出质疑，以及提出一项软弱的国家法案，以与州级法律“冲突”。烟草控制倡导者寻求媒体关注作为保护该法律的一种策略。
圣达菲是拉丁美洲第一个根据世界卫生组织（世卫组织）《烟草控制框架公约》的建议制定全面禁烟政策的州级管辖区。在实施三年后，烟草业利益集团未能破坏该法律。阿根廷其他州级管辖区，以及墨西哥和巴西，都在效仿圣达菲的做法。
