- Tobacco Industry Tactics: The tobacco industry often employs aggressive tactics to undermine control measures, including litigation and lobbying. - Socioeconomic Disparities: Smoking rates are higher among lower socioeconomic groups, necessitating targeted interventions. - Youth Smoking: Preventing the initiation of smoking among young people remains a critical challenge. - E-cigarettes and Vaping: The rise of alternative nicotine delivery systems presents new regulatory challenges.
