New report: Tobacco Prevention in Timor-Leste

Report summarising findings from consultation about the problem of tobacco use in Timor-Leste by MHI staff member Thomas Lopes.

This is the first study to investigate the attitude of leaders in Timor Leste regarding the important issue of tobacco control. The findings suggest that there is likely to be strong support and low resistance from Timor Leste leaders to progress tobacco control. The findings suggest that well organised tobacco prevention efforts are likely to be well-received by the Timor Leste leaders. The first efforts of the tobacco prevention movement will need to include actions to increase knowledge amongst the leaders of how to effectively prevent and reduce tobacco use in Timor Leste.
