HEALTH OR FREE TRADE? AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN TOBACCO CONTROL AND FREE TRADE

Öz

This article aims to examine the conflicts between tobacco control policies and free trade. The tobacco industry creates a constant tension between health policies and economic interests. World Trade Organization trade agreements such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (ATT), Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) do not adequately protect tobacco control measures from trade-based threats and these agreements aim to reduce trade barriers, increase competition, lower prices and encourage consumption. Tobacco control measures, on the other hand, seek to reduce market entry and consumption, raise prices, and restrict advertising and promotion in order to reduce health and social problems. The study analyzes the effects of tobacco control measures on trade agreements and the ways to resolve these disputes. It also assesses the balance between the tobacco industry's economic contributions and health costs. The adverse health effects of tobacco use have long been recognized. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other health organizations have proposed various control measures to reduce tobacco use. However, the economic interests of the tobacco industry and international trade agreements pose challenges to the implementation of these control measures. The article examines the complex relationship between tobacco control and trade disputes and its implications for global policies. It is qualitative research based on the analysis and evaluation of legal and administrative texts related to tobacco control policies and free trade.
