Widespread TC consensus: Science Policy Strategy Broad-based TC community Pan-partisan Multi-sectoral International
What do we want? Who can give it to us? What do they need to hear? Who do they need to hear it from? How can we get them to hear it?
#1: Get on the Agenda #2: Get Favourable Decisions #3: Protect gains/ address vulnerabilities (repeat as necessary)
Same Vulnerabilities
same, same Publish or Perish #1
Multisectoral Finance Health Education same, same Need Multiple Points of Contact Multi-jurisdictional International, National, subnational Corporate, CSO & home
same, same Need to under- stand the decision maker Canadian MPs: Live in the moment Are competitive and tribal Don t want to be disliked Barter policies Think locally Are not overly numerate Which side are you on?
same, same Need for sustained resources It s not a part-time job.
same, same Need to take risks There is a reason we are an unbranded movement.
Same Same Barriers The capacity of decision makers to: Deflect responsibility Deny the problem Discredit the evidence Delay action
Somewhat different Barriers Tobacco control is understood to mean cigarette control (perception is reality) Prevents instant adoption of Economic rationale, health rationale, cultural acceptance, priority over other health concerns.
Same same Mutable Problem Money is the root of all smoking! Suppliers are driven to adapt or overcome regulatory and other barriers.
same, same What do we want NOW? Challenge to find the right ask What will we want NEXT?
