Align tobacco tax with Viet Nam’s goals for health and prosperity, says WHO in new policy brief

High rates of smoking are threatening Viet Nam’s national tobacco control and health targets, and its long-term aspiration of becoming a high-income country by 2045, according to a new publication by the World Health Organization (WHO). Today, WHO in Viet Nam launched “Tobacco Taxation to Advance Health and Sustainable Development in Viet Nam,” a policy brief that draws on international evidence and uses a global tax simulation model to weigh up the effect of different tax options on health and the economy in Viet Nam.
