Okokugcina I-WHO ibika ngomqedazwe kagwayi emhlabeni wonke iphetha ngokuthi amazwe amaningi asebenzise izinqubomgomo zokulawula ugwayi, kusukela kuzixwayiso zezithombe zamaphasela kuya ezindaweni ezingabhemi kanye nokuvinjelwa kokukhangisa.
INHLANGANO YEZEMPILO YOMHLABA WONKE YAMUKELA IMIPHUMELA
Cishe abantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4,7, noma ama-63% abantu emhlabeni, bakhavwe okungenani ngesinyathelo esisodwa esibanzi sokulawula ugwayi. Uma kuqhathaniswa no-2007, lapho abantu abayisigidigidi esisodwa kuphela kanye ne-1% yabantu bevikelekile, isibalo siphindeke kane. Amasu okusebenzisa lezi zinqubomgomo asindise izigidi zabantu ekufeni ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Nokho, umbiko uphawula ukuthi, imboni kagwayi iyaqhubeka iphazamisa imizamo yohulumeni yokusebenzisa ngokugcwele ukungenelela okusindisa ukuphila nokonga imali.
«Ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke akumele bangachithi sikhathi ngokuhlanganisa zonke izinhlinzeko ze-WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control ezinhlelweni nezinqubomgomo zabo zokulawula ugwayi.", kusho u UDkt Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, uMqondisi-Jikelele we-WHO. "Kumelwe futhi bathathe izinyathelo ezinqala ngokumelene nokuhweba ngogwayi ongekho emthethweni, okubhebhetheka kakhulu futhi okubhebhethekisa ubhadane lukagwayi emhlabeni wonke kanye nemiphumela yako yezempilo kanye nezenhlalo-mnotho.»
UDkt Tedros uyanezela: “Ngokusebenzisana, amazwe angavimbela ukufa kwezigidi zabantu unyaka ngamunye ngenxa yezifo ezihlobene nogwayi futhi onge izigidi zezigidi zamaRandi ngonyaka ezindlekweni zokunakekelwa kwempilo nokulahlekelwa umkhiqizo.".
Namuhla, abantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-4,7 bavikelwe okungenani isilinganiso esisodwa esihlobene "umkhuba omuhle kakhuluezisohlwini lwe-WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, 3,6 billion ngaphezu kwango-2007 ngokombiko. Kubonga ukuqinisa izenzo zohulumeni asebephinde imizamo yabo yokuqalisa izinyathelo ezibalulekile zeNgqungquthela Yohlaka eyenze le nqubekelaphambili yaba yimpumelelo.
Amasu okusekela ukusetshenziswa kwezinyathelo zokunciphisa isidingo ku-Framework Convention, njengeMPOWERiye yasindisa izigidi zabantu ekufeni ngaphambi kwesikhathi futhi yasindisa amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezigidi zamaRandi eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule. I-MPOWER yasungulwa ngo-2008 ukuze iqhubekisele phambili isinyathelo sikahulumeni kumasu okulawula angu-6 ngokuhambisana ne-Framework Convention:
- (Qaphela) ukuqapha ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi kanye nezinqubomgomo zokuvimbela;
- (Vikela) ukuvikela abantu entuthuni kagwayi;
- (nikeza) usizo kulabo abafuna ukuyeka ukubhema;
- (Xwayisa) ukuxwayisa ngemiphumela eyingozi yokubhema;
- (Ukuphoqelela) ukuphoqelela ukuvinjelwa kokukhangisa kukagwayi, ukukhuthazwa nokuxhaswa; futhi
- (Phakamisa) nyusa izintela zikagwayi.
«Umuntu oyedwa kwabangu-10 abashona emhlabeni kungenxa yokubhema, kodwa lesi simo singashintshwa ngenxa yezinyathelo zokulawula i-MPOWER ezibonakale zisebenza kahle kakhulu."Kuchaza UMichael R. Bloomberg, Inxusa Lomhlaba 
we-WHO yezifo ezingathathelani kanye nomsunguli we-Bloomberg Philanthropies. Intuthuko eyenziwa emhlabeni wonke, futhi yaqokonyiswa kulo mbiko, ibonisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuba amazwe ahlehlise indlela. I-Bloomberg Philanthropies ibheke ngabomvu ukusebenzisana noDkt. Ghebreyesus nokuqhubeka nokusebenzisana ne-WHO.
Umbiko omusha, oxhaswe yi-Bloomberg Philanthropies, ugxile ekugadweni nasekuvinjweni kokusetshenziswa kukagwayi. Ababhali bathola ukuthi ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yamazwe inezinhlelo ezibanzi zokuqapha ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi. Yize ingxenye yabo inyukile isuka ku-2007 (kwakuyikota ngaleso sikhathi), ohulumeni kusadingeka benze okwengeziwe ukuze babeke phambili futhi baxhase lo mkhakha womsebenzi.
Ngisho namazwe anezinsiza ezilinganiselwe angaqapha ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi futhi asebenzise izinqubomgomo zokuvimbela. Ngokukhiqiza idatha yabantu abasha kanye nabantu abadala, amazwe angakwazi-ke ukukhuthaza ezempilo, onge imali ezindlekweni zokunakekelwa kwezempilo futhi enze imali yezinsiza zomphakathi, kusho umbiko. Unezela ngokuthi ukuqapha okuhlelekile kokugxambukela kwemboni kagwayi ekwenziweni kwezinqubomgomo zikahulumeni kuvikela impilo yomphakathi ngokudalula amaqhinga ale mboni, njengokwenza ihaba ngokubaluleka kwayo kwezomnotho, ukubukela phansi amaqiniso esayensi afakazelwe kanye nokuphendukela ezinkantolo zokwesabisa ohulumeni.
«Amazwe angazivikela kangcono izakhamuzi zawo, kuhlanganise nezingane, embonini kagwayi nemikhiqizo yayo lapho zisebenzisa izinhlelo zokuqapha ugwayi."kusho yena UDkt. Douglas Bettcher, UMqondisi we-WHO woMnyango Wokuvimbela Izifo Ezingathathelwana (NCD).
«Ukugxambukela kwemboni kagwayi kunqubomgomo yomphakathi kuyisithiyo esibulalayo kwinqubekelaphambili yezempilo nentuthuko emazweni amaningi“, kukhala uDkt. Bettcher. "Kodwa ngokulawula kanye nokuvimbela le misebenzi, singasindisa izimpilo futhi sihlwanyele imbewu yekusasa elisimeme labo bonke.»
