Any serious consideration of exploring a tobacco endgame in the USA must build upon the enviable track record of reducing tobacco use through a mixture of federal and state policies. This foundation may pose particular challenges in approaching an endgame, including questions of national political feasibility, public support, limitations of sub-federal experimentation and recruitment of future political champions. Advocates must demonstrate a compelling need for a dramatic expansion beyond existing efforts, amid competition from alternative issues and little apparent public appetite for such an initiative.

Protecting children from tobacco products in retail environments: A review of Australian tobacco control laws.
Drug Alcohol Rev
March 2025
School of Public Health, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
Issues: Tobacco retailing remains highly prevalent in Australia and so represents a potential source of exposure to tobacco marketing for children, despite national laws that restrict tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. This study sought to answer the question of how comprehensively the current Australian regulatory framework protects children from potential exposure to tobacco marketing in retail settings.
Approach: We reviewed and summarised Australian tobacco control laws (federal, state and territory) for provisions related to protecting children from supply or advertising/promotion of tobacco products in retail settings.

The National Lung Cancer Screening Program is commencing in Australia in July 2025.

January 2025
Tobacco Control, South-East Asia, Vital Strategies, New Delhi, India. Electronic address:
Introduction: The key for public health programs to succeed is their successful implementation to achieve the desired outcomes. For integrating legislative measures such as the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA), which needs a component of enforcement, unless there is optimal engagement and empowerment of the assigned agencies, the outcomes are likely to be weak and incomplete at best.
Current Status: Enforcement of COTPA under the National Tobacco Control Programme (NTCP) has succeeded only partly despite the best efforts of State Tobacco Control Cells (STCCs) countrywide.
