RESUMEN

El Global Smokefree Partnership recién completó un mapa de las campañas para promover políticas de ambientes libres de humo (ALH) a nivel mundial. El mapa se centra en los países Partes al Convenio Marco para el Control del Tabaco de la OMS, aunque otros países también se incluyen, y documenta el estatus de 172 países en el tema de los ALH. De estos países, 31 (18.0%) tienen políticas comprehensivas de ALH, a nivel nacional, provincial, y/o estatal – mejores prácticas; 25 (14.6%) prevén la implementación de políticas de ALH en 2008 o 2009; y 51 (29.6%) han progresado significativamente con estas políticas. Sólo 65 países (37.8%) no tienen políticas de ALH, o sólo políticas limitadas en este ámbito. Este ensayo destaca una selección de países que representan las mejores prácticas en las políticas de ALH o que prevén la implementación de estas políticas en 2008 o 2009, con tal de ilustrar el movimiento global hacia los ambientes libres de humo; el éxito de las políticas ya establecidas; la importancia de la sociedad civil en este proceso; y el intercambio de experiencias entre países.
