Abstract:
This paper reviews the major elements of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and considers those that can be applied to diet and nutrition. Tobacco and food policy have important differences: the two commodities have distinctly different health impacts, and food companies may be more responsive to public concerns than the tobacco industry. Nevertheless, both food and tobacco policy address public health issues surrounding legal products. Both require comprehensive and multi-sector approaches at global and national levels. The degree of flexibility possible in interacting and partnering with the private sector and food and related industries and the related implications for regulations and laws are reasons for a more nuanced approach to diet and physical activity policy.
