Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable morbidity and mortality worldwide, contributing to a variety of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory conditions. The FCTC serves as a critical tool in epidemiological efforts to reduce the burden of these diseases. By implementing the FCTC, countries can reduce the prevalence of tobacco use and, consequently, the incidence of tobacco-related diseases.
