On October 18, 2014, at the conclusion of the sixth session of the Conference of the parties to the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), several decisions were adopted. According to a news article, the decisions adopted include, inter alia, tax regulations, which “provide for tax rates to be monitored, increased and adjusted annually, taking into account inflation and income growth,” and  measures “aimed at restricting tobacco industry interference.” Parties also adopted a decision acknowledging the need for regulation regarding “electronic nicotine (and non-nicotine) delivery systems, also known as electronic cigarettes.” The FCTC currently has 179 Parties to the Convention and is among the fastest treaties in UN history to be negotiated and enter into force.
