Ukraine has been a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) since September 4, 2006. The law, “On Measures of Prevention and Reduction of Use of Tobacco Products and Their Harmful Influence on People’s Health”, declares that healthcare policy has priority over the financial, tax and corporate interests of economic entities whose activity is connected with the tobacco industry. However, this standard remains largely declarative and not effectively implemented. The tobacco industry regularly engages government officials in corporate social responsibility activities, make charitable contributions to NGOs and think tanks who can influence policy-makers, and is a partner in combatting illicit tobacco.
