Malawi's economy is significantly dependent on tobacco farming, yet the country also struggles with smoking-related health risks, creating a dilemma between socioeconomic and public health considerations. The commentary highlights the lack of empirical evidence regarding the socioeconomic implications of tobacco control measures on tobacco farming in the country. Moreover, despite the country's economic dependence on tobacco farming, a majority of cigarettes consumed domestically are imported, demonstrating the complexity of Malawi's tobacco industry.

The article further draws insights from tobacco end-game strategies in other countries and proposes a comprehensive approach to tobacco control.
