Study Selection: Studies were included if they presented original research relevant to marketing features of FCVs.

Framing the policy debate over tobacco control legislation and tobacco taxation in South Africa.

Background: In 2018, South Africa opened public consultations on its newly proposed tobacco control bill, resulting in substantial public debate in which a range of arguments, either in favour of or against the Bill, was advanced. These were accompanied by the recurring discussions about the annual adjustments in tobacco taxation. This study uses the concept of framing to examine the public debate in South African print media on the potential effects of the legislation, as well as tobacco tax regulations, between their proponents and detractors.
