Smoking is the largest preventable cause of death in the world, killing nearly 6 million people annually. This article is an investigation of measures implemented laws in the Iran to study the proposed strategy of control and reduce tobacco use based on the monitor, protect, offer, warn, enforce and raise (MPOWER) policy.
All laws approved by the Parliament along with the instructions on tobacco control prepared by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade were collected and studied. Moreover, practical steps of Ministry of Health and other organizations were examined in this regard.
Iranian Parliament after the adoption of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) acts to create a comprehensive and systematic program for tobacco control legislation as a first step towards comprehensive national tobacco control and combat. In this law and its implementing guidelines and based on the strategy of MPOWER, specific implement is done to monitor tobacco use and prevention policies, protect people from tobacco smoke, offer help to quit tobacco use, warn about the dangers of tobacco, enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship and raise taxes on tobacco. However, the full objectives of the legislation have not achieved yet.
According to Iran's membership in the FCTC and executive producer of tobacco control laws and regulations, necessary infrastructure is ready for a serious fight with tobacco use. In Iran, in comparison with developed countries, there is a huge gap between ratified laws and performing of laws.
吸烟是全球最大的可预防死因，每年导致近600万人死亡。本文旨在调查伊朗实施的相关法律措施，以研究基于监测、保护、提供、警示、执法和提高（MPOWER）政策的控烟和减少烟草使用的策略。
收集并研究了议会批准的所有法律以及卫生和医学教育部、工业、矿业和贸易部制定的控烟指示。此外，还审查了卫生部和其他组织在这方面的实际举措。
伊朗议会在通过《烟草控制框架公约》（FCTC）后，着手制定一项全面、系统的控烟立法计划，作为全面国家控烟和打击行动的第一步。在该法律及其实施指南中，基于MPOWER策略，具体实施了监测烟草使用和预防政策、保护人们免受烟草烟雾危害、提供戒烟帮助、警示烟草危害、执行烟草广告、促销和赞助禁令以及提高烟草税等措施。然而，该立法的全部目标尚未实现。
鉴于伊朗是FCTC的成员国且是控烟法律法规的执行方，已具备与烟草使用展开严肃斗争的必要基础设施。在伊朗，与发达国家相比，已批准的法律与法律执行情况之间存在巨大差距。
