An increasing number of countries across the world are planning for the eradication of the tobacco epidemic. The actions necessary to realise this ambition have been termed the tobacco endgame. The focus of this paper is on the intersection between the tobacco endgame with place, a neglected theme in recent academic and policy debates. We begin with an overview of the key themes in the literature on endgame strategies before detailing the international landscape of engame initiatives, paying particular attention to the opportunities and challenges of endgame strategies in low and middle income countries. Finally, we critically assess the current endgame debates and suggest a novel agenda for integrating geographical perspectives into research on the endgame that provides enhanced understanding of the challenges associated with this important global health vision.
世界上越来越多的国家正在计划消除烟草流行。为实现这一目标而采取的行动被称为烟草终结游戏。本文的重点是烟草终结游戏与场所之间的交叉点，这是近年来学术和政策辩论中被忽视的一个主题。我们首先概述了关于终结游戏策略的文献中的关键主题，然后详细介绍了终结游戏倡议的国际格局，特别关注终结游戏策略在低收入和中等收入国家的机遇和挑战。最后，我们批判性地评估了当前的终结游戏辩论，并为将地理视角纳入终结游戏研究提出了一个新的议程，以增强对这一重要全球健康愿景相关挑战的理解。
