Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke pose a significant risk to the health of populations. Although this evidence is not new, the commitment of countries to implement laws aimed at controlling consumption and eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke is uneven. Thus, in North America or in Europe, locations like California or Ireland, are pioneers in establishing policies aimed at protecting the population against smoking and secondhand smoke. Identifying measures that have worked would help control this important Public Health problem in other countries that are further behind in tobacco control policies. In Spain, there has been almost 15 years of little political action in legislation oriented to control the tobacco epidemic. If we want to achieve the tobacco endgame, new legislative measures must be implemented. In this paper, we have elucidated tobacco control policies that could be implemented and show how different countries have done so.
吸烟和接触二手烟对人群健康构成重大威胁。尽管这一证据并不新鲜，但各国在实施旨在控制消费和消除二手烟暴露的法律方面的承诺参差不齐。因此，在北美或欧洲，加利福尼亚或爱尔兰等地，都是率先制定政策以保护民众免受吸烟和二手烟危害的地方。确定哪些措施有效将有助于控制其他在烟草控制政策方面落后的国家的这一重要公共卫生问题。在西班牙，在立法方面控制烟草流行方面，几乎 15 年来政治行动很少。如果我们想实现烟草的最终目标，就必须实施新的立法措施。在本文中，我们阐明了可以实施的烟草控制政策，并展示了不同国家是如何实施的。
