Guidance for Introducing the Tobacco-Free Generation Policy.

This article serves as a guide to the Tobacco-Free Generation policy (TFG) for policy-makers, drawing on experiences of negotiations regarding TFG in a wide number of jurisdictions.

The policy signals that there is no safe age for tobacco products.
