NATIONS / TOBACCO CONTROL COUNTRY PROFILES

NATIONS - the National Tobacco Information Online System is a collaborative effort of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tobacco-Free Initiative, the American Cancer Society (ACS), the World Bank, and CDC. It incorporates several sources of data to provide country-specific, national-level information on a wide variety of tobacco control issues: tobacco use behaviors, smoking-related disease impact, national tobacco control laws and regulations, tobacco economics, tobacco industry organization, and tobacco control programmatic interventions. See http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/nations.htm .
     NATIONS is modelled off of the American Cancer Society publication, "Tobacco Control Country Profiles," which provides a tobacco control status report for 197 nations and territories. See http://tobacco.who.int/page.cfm?sid=57. The statistics page is at http://tobacco.who.int/page.cfm?pid=51
