Asst Prof Yvette van der Eijk on a 'tobacco endgame' in Singapore

Tobacco use is on the decline in Singapore, where fewer than one in 10 people smoke. That makes it prime for what researchers call a "tobacco endgame". Singapore is among six high-income territories, such as Iceland and Norway, that are well-positioned for this. A study by the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health points to favourable factors like strong political leadership and public support. Assistant Professor Yvette van der Eijk discussed tobacco cessation policies.
