This paper highlights two salient challenges at the intersection of tobacco control and macroeconomic policy-making: (i) the use of trade and investment disputes to undermine and/or stall tobacco control legislation and (ii) the inconsistency, and thus unpredictability, of country positions across the two spheres. In the interest of improving international policy coherence, the authors suggest possible solutions to these two challenges at the national and intergovernmental levels.
（i）利用贸易和投资争端来破坏和/或拖延烟草控制立法；（ii）两个领域中各国立场的不一致性，进而导致不可预测性。为提高国际政策的协调性，作者提出了在国家和政府间层面应对这两个挑战的可能解决方案。
