Sri Lanka was the first Asian country to ratify the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention of Tobacco Control (FCTC) in 2003. Initiated by this undertaking, the National Authority for Tobacco and Alcohol (NATA) Act No 27 of 2006, the first legislature for tobacco control was enacted in parliament, with provisions for advertising, sales and promotion regulations for tobacco and creating smoke free environments in the country [1].
