Percentage of all MPOWER measures implemented in Latin American countries
(2025)
Compliance with the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control agreements has implications for the development and implementation of national tobacco control activities. Many Latin American countries have implemented smoke-free policies to protect public health and reduce the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. These policies vary in their scope and stringency, but they generally aim to create smoke-free environments in indoor public spaces, workplaces, and certain outdoor areas. All Latin American countries require the use of graphic health warnings (GHW) on tobacco packaging, although the size, placement, and rotation of GHWs may vary among countries.
