Editor's Notes
- Good morning I would like, together with you, to look into: - WHO FCTC, where are we coming from? Status of the WHO FCTC implementation in the European Region, where are we in 2016? Zoom in to art 5.3. of the WHO FCTC and ask from ourselves, do we need to say same things over and over again? End by asking what next?
- It is 20 years ago the idea of a possible tobacco control treaty was put forward in the context of WHO, in 1996. It has been a long way and carefully crafted process.

- Where are we in 2016 in Europe? 20 years after the first idea of a treaty at the WHA and slightly more than 10 years after the entry into force of the WHO FCTC.
- Looking at European rates of smoking in the global context, comparing the WHO European Region to other 5 Regions, Europe has the highest level of adult smokers in the world, 28%, and by far highest level of female smokers, 19%.
- In the global NCDs related commitments, there is a global voluntary target of a 30% relative reduction in tobacco use by 2025, in less than 10 years time. SDG targets for 2030 are aligned with the NCD targets for 2025, incl. the target related to tobacco use
- SDG targets for 2030 are aligned with the NCD targets for 2025, incl. the target related to tobacco use
- From 2000 onwards a downward trend is observed in the prevalence of current tobacco smoking among the adult population in the WHO European Region, both in males and females. In 2015, it is estimated that the prevalence of current tobacco smoking among males is 37%. For females, this percentage will be half less, namely 19%. At this stage, it is projected that the prevalence level in 2025 among males will be 31% and among females it will be 16%. Taking the years from 2010 to 2025, this means a projected relative reduction of 22% among the male population, and of 25 % among the female population The WHO European Region would need to accelerate its efforts in tobacco control in order to achieve the global target of a 30% relative reduction by 2025. It also goes for all countries in this room as based on the latest DRAFT trends report to be published in early 2017, none of the countries here would achieve the global voluntary target by 2025.
