Stimulate the debate on tobacco control policy
“The purpose of this new scale is to introduce a new level of systematisation into scoring tobacco control at country level. (..)we hope the scale will be used even more widely, encouraging comparisons between countries and thus motivation to strengthen weak polices.”
Joossens, Raw, 2006
![Page 25: The past, present and future of the tobacco control scale](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f24a401a28abfc078b4591/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Comments on price scores
• Weighted average price (WAP)= good indicator• Power purchasing standards is problematic for
some countries• Some countries don’t have WAPs• RYO tobacco is not included• Exchange rates influence scores and makes
trends difficult.• The maximum level of points = abitrary
![Page 27: The past, present and future of the tobacco control scale](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f24a401a28abfc078b4591/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Comments on smoke free
• Enforcement is measured by the Eurobarometer survey
• Sampling size is low• Some countries don’t Eurobarometer results• Difference between different types of smoking
rooms is no more justified• Scores take into account good legislation and
enforcement
![Page 28: The past, present and future of the tobacco control scale](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f24a401a28abfc078b4591/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Comments on advertising
• Answers of repondents are not always reliable• Problems of the measurement of enforcement• Is the ban on internet advertising enforced?
![Page 29: The past, present and future of the tobacco control scale](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f24a401a28abfc078b4591/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Comments on budgets
• Difficult to collect the data• No measurement of the quality of the
campaigns• Only Iceland and Switzerland have high scores• 15 points is probably too high
![Page 30: The past, present and future of the tobacco control scale](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030309/58f24a401a28abfc078b4591/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
General comments
• Some respondents want high, others low scores
• Some repondents never reply• Answers of respondents need to be verified by
other sources such database EU, WHO Europe, MPOWER, FCTC, SFP, TFK, etcera
