Despite war-related disruptions and a humanitarian crisis, Ukraine has upheld and strengthened policies like tobacco taxation, new pictorial health warnings on cigarette packs, advertising bans, and smoking restrictions, largely due to strong policy leadership and international collaborations driven by the European Union integration. Successes and political leadership over the past decade have reinforced Ukraine's compliance with the WHO FCTC. However, continued threats from the tobacco industry, especially efforts to weaken legislation and obstruct enforcement of regulations on new and emerging nicotine and tobacco products, remain a serious concern.

Even though the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) mandates countries to implement tobacco cessation programs as a cost-effective approach to assist smokers in quitting and reduce the burden of tobacco use, only one-third of the world's population has access to effective cessation services. Many governments have failed to provide comprehensive, accessible tobacco cessation services due to financial constraints and the belief that people are to blame for tobacco addiction. The World Health Organization's Package of Essential Non-Communicable Diseases (WHO PEN) recommends incorporating tobacco cessation and lifestyle advice into primary healthcare as a cost-effective means of avoiding non-communicable diseases. Despite nearly two decades have passed since ratifying the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), Oman has made little progress in developing a national comprehensive tobacco cessation program. A comprehensive multisectoral effort is necessary to explore the challenges and opportunities for implementing an effective national tobacco cessation program in Oman, which should be part of effective tobacco control legislation aimed at reversing the tobacco trend and assisting smokers in quitting tobacco products.

This article describes the ADHAirE study which aims to reduce smoking at school through an improved enforcement of the school's tobacco policy. The ADHAirE study will be carried out during 2 years in 20 Belgian secondary schools. Schools will be randomized either in the experimental or the control group. Schools in the experimental group will create an advocacy coalition involving students, staff and the principal. Those schools will also be linked to the others to share best practices about their school tobacco policy. Members of the advocacy coalition will share beliefs and values about the tobacco policy and about the school's role in tobacco prevention. This randomized controlled trial will assess the effectiveness of the advocacy coalition to enforce the school tobacco policy. The ADHAirE study is based on the latest research and recommendations on school tobacco prevention. Following the social norm theory, this study goes further than many others before which only focused on health education, targeting the individual and not the social environment in which smoking occurs. Through the advocacy coalition, ADHAirE will initiate a community-level intervention that will ensure that all stakeholders are involved in decision-sharing about the rules, ensuring their acceptability, adoption and sustainability. <b>CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION:</b> The study is registered on the official website of ClinicalTrials.gov <b>IDENTIFIER:</b> ID NCT06655038.</p>","PeriodicalId":44546,"journal":{"name":"Tobacco Prevention & Cessation","volume":"11 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11931910/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
