The World Health Organization (WHO) considers smoking to be the leading, single avoidable cause of death worldwide and identifies its cause as dependence on nicotine, the substance found in all tobacco products. Due to this dependence, smokers are exposed to at least 4720 toxic substances that are present in tobacco smoke. Consequently, approximately 50 diseases have been related to tobacco use, most of them fatal, such as the various types of cancer, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. It has been proven that nonsmokers who live with smokers in closed environments become passive smokers and may also suffer from the same diseases mentioned above. Worldwide, five million people die every year due to smoking. In Brazil, this number is 200,000. If nothing is done in order to reverse this scenario, the WHO estimates that, by 2030, 10 million people will die annually due to causes directly related to smoking and that 70% of these deaths will occur in developing countries. One of the most perverse aspects of smoking is that it has been concentrated in low-income populations that have less access to information, education and health. According to the World Bank, smoking aggravates hunger and poverty since nicotine dependence causes many parents to buy cigarettes or other tobacco products in lieu of feeding their children. In addition, in some poor countries, cigarettes are less expensive than food. In order to counter this true pandemic, 192 WHO member countries developed, over a fouryear period, the first international public health treaty in the history of mankind: the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). This convention, which became valid in February 2005 after having been ratified by 40 countries, aims at protecting the global population and future generations from the devastating consequences Brazilian ratification of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control: a question of public health
