The Gathering Smoke Clouds: A Worldwide Challenge

JOHN CROFTON

Department of Respiratory Diseases, University of Edinburgh Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

The gathering smoke clouds: a worldwide challenge.Internationa Journal of Epidemiology 1984, 13: 269–270.

Based on the 1983 WHO Expert Report, Smoking control strategies in developing countries, the problem in these countries is briefly reviewed. Many countries are well on the way to adding a formidable epidemic of smoking related diseases to their already overwhelming health problems. Rational policies of prevention are reasonably well understood. But, just as in developed countries, the difficulty is to get them applied. Doctors in the industrialized world could do much to support their colleagues in the threatened countries. All of us should feel a responsibility towards helping to prevent the tragedy.
