Tobacco use represents a critical global health challenge. The
World Health Organization estimates that tobacco kills nearly 6
million people a year, with the toll expected to rise to 8 million
annually over the next two decades. This detailed book, written by
health and legal experts from institutions around the globe,
examines legal issues arising from Australia's world-first
introduction of mandatory plain packaging of tobacco products. The
book offers an in-depth exploration of relevant domestic and
international legal questions in fields such as intellectual
property, constitutional law, health, trade and investment. The
authors' analysis sheds light on broader questions relating to the
capacity of governments to regulate tobacco products and the
tobacco industry, and to regulate in the interests of public health
more generally. The answers to these questions are of vital
interest not only to Australia but also to the international
community, with states' regulatory sovereignty increasingly being
challenged in local and international courts and tribunals. This
timely study is designed to assist international organizations,
NGOs, policymakers, and scholars in law, medicine and
health-related areas. Health professionals and advisors will also
find much of interest here. Contributors: A. Alemanno, G. Ayres, E.
