Tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of death in the world, and it is projected to kill one billion people in the 21st century unless effective tobacco control measures are implemented. We will cover a range of topics in this class, from health and human rights implication of tobacco farming and production, to selling and marketing, including specific marketing to children, LGBTQI+ communities, or women, to cessation. We will include a history of tobacco use in various contexts, public health policy, illicit trade and a discussion of today's tobacco industry. Students will learn about various methods of controlling tobacco use, evidence-based cessation options, the health ramifications of second-hand smoke, the dual burden of tobacco use and tuberculosis, and the marketing strategies used by tobacco companies particularly in the Global South.
