editHow does this impact the U.S.? Are we actually bound by it? Kent Wang 17:33, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Not until it gets ratified (like other treaties)... the same applies to other nations who have only signed it. That-Vela-Fella 18:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

A bone to pick
editMost nations worldwide are finding that ever larger numbers of their citizens are either getting ill and dying of lung cancer, emphysema, and heart disease.
Are we to assume that tobacco is the only cause of this? Hempeater 20:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Whoever did that statement didn't add to it as 'one of the causes' that could lead to them. That-Vela-Fella 18:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Why is this a LOW Priority
editIf the protocol is but 6 parties away from actually being able to hold the first Meeting of the Parties (40) shouldn't this be current and informative? We know that significant revenue is being offered by the UN 2030 project to move this forward and that large revenues from illicit tobacco trade (a topic without a WP article) are not being seen by states, further complicating their ability to put access prevention controls in place. If other articles are to present who information as gospel, then this page needs to be liturgical.
- "Illicit trade on tobacco is costing governments a “fortune.” European Union countries lose about 10 million euros ($11.8 million) in revenue to illicit tobacco trade every year, said [Austin] Rowan.
“Some countries and regions tackle them very well, but it’s like a chain with the risk on the weakest link,” he said. “The problem is, you can have all the legislation and all the best customs that you have, but your real problem is your neighbors. If they are not doing any enforcement, then you can still suffer from illicit trade.”" [1] Mrphilip (talk) 08:48, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
