8. Priorities for implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

34 8. Priorities for implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

8.1 What are the priorities implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in your jurisdiction? (Please refer to Article 21.1(b).)

- Full combat against illegal sale of tobacco products; - Conduct of adequate tax policy. - Application of measures for population prevention from the influence of passive smoking

8.2 What, if any, are the constraints or barriers you have encountered in implementing the Convention? (Please refer to Article 21.1(b).)

What is taken into consideration is the problem of the application of measures for restricting the use of tobacco products due to the lack of resources. Firstly, the problem is in monitoring of Law enforcement. Namely, monitoring of the application is done by inspection bodies, the number of which is very small on the territory of Montenegro, and they are not able to fully realize measures for prohibition of tobacco products use in accordance with Law. Besides, public spaces, in which the use of tobacco products is restricted by Law, are not technically equipped for the application of measures for restricting the use of tobacco products. We are still not in a position to apply measures for control the structure of tobacco products, because of the lack of technical equipment.
