Honored for their work in enforcing bans on tobacco advertising and sponsorship

In 2013, Russia passed comprehensive tobacco control legislation that is among the strongest in the world. The measure includes a full and complete ban on all forms of TAPS (tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship). KONFOP, one of the strongest and most tireless advocates for tobacco control in Russia, played a key role in securing passage of this legislation. When the advertising ban provisions in the legislation were at risk of being removed from the bill under pressure from the tobacco industry, KONFOP gained access to tobacco industry documents and leaked them to the Ministry of Health and international and domestic media. This action was crucial to the preservation of the TAPS provision.
