Zambia became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on August 21, 2008. The long delay in the filing of the Control of Tobacco Products Bill has benefited the tobacco industry to increase its business. There is no ban on tobacco advertising; corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities are allowed, enabling industry executives close access to government officials and leaders; there are no pictorial warnings on cigarette packs and the sale of cheap, single sticks makes cigarettes both affordable and accessible.
