KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
Major strides towards national tobacco control have been made since Nigeria became signatory to the WHO
Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) in June 2004. The Nigerian senate passed a bill on March 15,
2011 which is expected to be signed into law shortly, to regulate and control production, manufacture, sale,
advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco or tobacco products. This paper highlights how the proposed
tobacco control law provides a unique opportunity to domesticate the WHO FCTC, expand on smokeless tobacco
regulation and develop a science base to improve tobacco control measures in Nigeria.
