Registered tobacco and vaping lobbying activity in Ireland, 2016–2024: the case for strengthening implementation of the Framework Convention of Tobacco Control Article 5.3 to clear the path for tobacco endgame
Michael Hanrahan & Paul Kavanagh
What the paper says
Despite Ireland's well-established lobbying regulation, the tobacco and vaping industries maintain a persistent and influential presence within policymaking circles, often overshadowing health advocates. While necessary, transparency mechanisms alone are insufficient and must be complemented by comprehensive implementation of FCTC Article 5.3 to build a pathway for tobacco endgame.
