Long-term success for any tobacco endgame is contingent not only on acquiring political will, but also on sustaining it over a long period of time, perhaps even for decades. Future cohorts of public health professionals with knowledge of tobacco issues are therefore needed to carry on with the endgame strategy (should early attempts fail) and to keep tobacco control salient after an endgame strategy has initially been implemented. The endgame itself offers a unique pedagogical opportunity that could revive interest in tobacco control at schools of public health--an important first step in cultivating the future advocacy base for a tobacco endgame.
任何烟草终局的长期成功不仅取决于获得政治意愿,还取决于在很长一段时间内维持这种意愿,甚至可能需要几十年。因此,未来需要有了解烟草问题的公共卫生专业人员来继续实施终局战略(如果早期尝试失败),并在实施终局战略后保持烟草控制的重要性。终局本身提供了一个独特的教学机会,可以重新激发公共卫生学校对烟草控制的兴趣——这是培养烟草终局未来倡导基础的重要第一步。
