Venezuela became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on September 25, 2006. Venezuela does not have regulations or a code of conduct that can prevent unnecessary interaction between public officials and the industry. The government has an intergovernmental commission on tobacco control, which is not formal in nature and has ceased to meet. The government has no plan in place to consistently raise awareness on Article 5.3.
