WHAT WILL THE TOBACCO DO


    It will always interfere and upset the good
    work

    The industry has a clear-cut strategy

    It has a well laid out plan too

    The biggest tool of the industry is to find an
    ally with the dark forces – the world of
    bribery and corruption


       www.TobaccoFreeIndia.org
       Hemant Goswami   hemant@tobaccofreeindia.org   April 27, 2012
FOR THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY

• Civil Society is a nuisance for the
  tobacco industry
• The unpredictability which comes along
  is the biggest game changer for the
  industry
• Innovation brought in by the civil society
  is another problem for the industry
• New advocacy tools and action often
  surprises the industry and they have to
  work extra hard to contain the damage

   www.TobaccoFreeIndia.org
   Hemant Goswami   hemant@tobaccofreeindia.org   April 27, 2012
WHERE SHOULD CIVIL SOCIETY BE
          PLACED?

• Civil society is the best FRIEND of
  ‘Tobacco Control’ action
• Civil society adds focus and
  innovation in planning, strategy,
  execution and action
• The most critical and most aggressive
  civil society groups are the most
  useful one’s for tobacco control



   www.TobaccoFreeIndia.org
   Hemant Goswami   hemant@tobaccofreeindia.org   April 27, 2012
HOW CIVIL SOCIETY SHOULD BE
ENGAGED BY THE GOVERNMENT(s)
1.  Identify
2.  Revalidate
3.  Partner
4.  Train
5.  Build capacity
6.  Network and weave
7.  Allow natural difference of opinion to grow and engage
    everyone without taking sides. Don’t interfere in inter
    and intra organizational dynamics (Mother NGO’s or
    umbrella organizations have a very limited role. Don’t
    over emphasize on it.)
8.  Use the Spoke-and-Wheel theory to work with Civil
    Society partners.
9.  Support
10. Recognize and share credit
11. Multiply with continuous identification and motivation



     www.TobaccoFreeIndia.org
     Hemant Goswami        hemant@tobaccofreeindia.org   April 27, 2012
UTILISE CIVIL SOCIETY FOR …

•   Advocacy
•   Community networking
•   Community feedback
•   Lobbying
•   Policy intervention and innovation
•   Litigation and independent legal action
•   Research and surveys
•   Ground level action
•   Implementation and execution
•   Monitoring
•   Etc…

LITIGATION IS NOT A BAD THING

 Use of litigation as a means of achieving public health policy goals
 Litigation can complement to a broader, comprehensive
  approach to tobacco control policy making
 Though it is believed that public health goals are more
  directly achievable through the political process than
  through litigation, but tobacco control being a dynamic
  public health problem with a third party like the tobacco
  corporate playing a very active role in disturbing the
  policies so it is now believed that the boundaries between
  litigation and the politics of public health in relation to tobacco
  control has blurred.
 Over a period of time it has been proved that litigation in
  tobacco control has indeed laid the foundation of meaningful
  policy changes.

      Hemant Goswami           hemant@tobaccofreeindia.org   April 27, 2012
EXAMPLE OF RESULTS BY LITIGATION
    Master Settlement Agreement

 Under the Master Settlement Agreement,
 seven tobacco companies agreed to
 change the way tobacco products are
 marketed and pay the states an
 estimated $206 billion (+ Other Costs). The
 tobacco companies also agreed to
 finance a $1.5 billion anti-smoking
 campaign, open previously secret
 industry documents, and disband
 industry trade groups which Attorneys
 General maintain conspired to conceal
 damaging research from the public.

INDUSTRY IS ALSO ALWAYS ACTIVE

 The industry has newer game-plans
  now
 Strategies include
       Using Media
       Influencing the law-makers
       Reaching the legal division
       Infiltrating Civil Society
       Planting Moles
       Getting the law diluted at the inception stage itself
       Confusing and misinforming
       Using hired guns
       Diluting the enforcement by all means


 Government (Official machinery) can’t
  handle everything

  • 11. LITIGATION IS NOT A BAD THING  Use of litigation as a means of achieving public health policy goals  Litigation can complement to a broader, comprehensive approach to tobacco control policy making  Though it is believed that public health goals are more directly achievable through the political process than through litigation, but tobacco control being a dynamic public health problem with a third party like the tobacco corporate playing a very active role in disturbing the policies so it is now believed that the boundaries between litigation and the politics of public health in relation to tobacco control has blurred.  Over a period of time it has been proved that litigation in tobacco control has indeed laid the foundation of meaningful policy changes. www.TobaccoFreeIndia.org Hemant Goswami hemant@tobaccofreeindia.org April 27, 2012
  • 12.
