Abstract

The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the first World Health Organization to protect modern and future generations from tobacco consumption and economic harm by providing a framework for tobacco regulatory measures implemented at national, regional and international levels to continuously and substantially reduce widespread tobacco use and tobacco smoke exposure.
 Article 5 (3) of the Convention stipulates that “the parties protect the tobacco industry from commercial and other existing interests in the formulation and implementation of tobacco regulations” and that public officials and government officials protect the tobacco industry from commercial interests.
 It was difficult to say that the expansion of the tobacco industry and the response of regulations were appropriate and reasonable depending on the difference in the position of looking at cigarettes. Although cigarettes are limited to a certain level without looking at them in the form of complete regulations, they are also looking at the overall tobacco industry environment, including tax creation, and to promote national health to spread health knowledge such as health value to the public.
 If the guidelines are understood as ethical obligations, it will be closer to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's understanding of the tobacco industry's addiction and risks, transparency of interactions with the tobacco industry, transparency of information collected from the tobacco industry, and immunity from tobacco industry.
