Correction: “Key to the Future”: British American Tobacco and Cigarette Smuggling in China

Introduction While Uganda has made legislative progress towards implementing Article 5.3 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), ongoing challenges in minimising tobacco industry interference have not been adequately explored. This analysis focuses on understanding difficulties in managing industry engagement across government ministries and in developing effective whole-of-government accountability for tobacco control. Methods Interviews with Uganda government officials within the health sector and beyond, including in Ministries of Trade, Agriculture and Revenue. Results The findings indicate substantial variations in awareness of Article 5.3, its norm and practices across government sectors. The data suggest ambiguity and uncertainty about accountability for Article 5.3 implementation, with policy makers in departments beyond health often uncertain about obligations under the FCTC. Second, we highlight how responsibility for Article 5.3 implementation and the obligations incurred are widely seen as restricted to the Ministry of Health. Third, competing mandates and perceived difficulties in reconciling health goals with economic growth are shown to impact on accountability for tobacco control. Yet, importantly, the data also demonstrate enthusiasm in some unexpected parts of government for actively engaging with Article 5.3 and for promoting greater intersectoral coordination. Conclusion This paper demonstrates the intrinsic challenges of developing whole-of-government approaches, highlighting considerable uncertainty and ambiguity among decision makers in Uganda about tobacco control governance. The analysis points to the potential for Uganda’s national coordinating mechanism to help reconcile competing expectations and demonstrate the importance of Article 5.3 beyond health actors.

Plain packaging policy should be developed in plain sight 

The government in England, having previously indicated its intention to follow Australia’s lead in legislating for plain packaging for cigarettes, has reportedly abandoned this public health initiative.1 This policy U turn was met with dismay from tobacco control advocates,2 jubilation by the tobacco industry, and an increase in tobacco share prices.1 Plans to introduce a minimum unit price for alcohol in England and Wales were also recently jettisoned after intensive lobbying by industry. Furthermore, the government has abandoned its plan to introduce a statutory register of lobbyists (signalled in its coalition agreement).3 

These public health casualties of the government’s midterm travails reinforce concerns about the role of the commercial sector in public health policy. Corporate involvement in public health is epitomised by a Public Health Responsibility Deal that privileges initiatives favoured by the alcohol and processed food industries.4 The absence of a statutory register of lobbyists underlines a continuing lack of transparency because it means that private companies can petition to take over health campaigns …
