Background: Due to lack of regular and systematic evaluation tool, Korea’s tobacco control policy has not been examined its overall process of implementation including efficiency and adequacy of the policies. This study developed policy monitoring and evalua-tion model to assess policy implementation and effectiveness of tobacco control in Korea.Methods: Based on World Health Organization operational manual for assessment, MPOWER (monitor tobacco use and prevention policies, protect from tobacco smoke, offer help to quit tobacco use, warn about the dangers of tobacco, enforce bans on tobacco advertising promotion and sponsorship, and raise taxes on tobacco) related policies were reviewed by rating policy efforts, program me management, people (human resources and their development), provision of organization, provision of fund and partnerships (range, 0 to 5).Results: As a result of the experts’ assessment, overall Korean tobacco control policies scored 2.61 points, which is poor. In relation to each ‘MPOWER’ policies, ‘W’ scored the highest points (2.93), followed by ‘O’ (2.91), ‘M’ (2.87), ‘P’ (2.86), and ‘E’ (2.23). ‘R’ scored the low-est points of 1.87, meaning government efforts in tobacco price policy is insufficient.Conclusion: This study concludes that Korean tobacco control policy should strengthen tax and price measures, while programme infrastructure, people, and funds for policy enforcement should be secured. Furthermore, rather than focusing on one specific mea-sure, a balanced approach reflecting various aspects of tobacco controls should be considered in order to decrease smoking rates and prevent smoking initiation.Keywords: Tobacco; Smoking; Policy; World Health Organization
