"The treaty bans or restricts tobacco advertising, introduces more prominent health warnings and control the uses of terms like "low-tar" on cigarette packs. It provides for tougher international measures against second-hand smoke and cigarette smuggling, and espouses manufacturer liability. The treaty particularly intends to stop hard-sell tactics aimed at adolescents and strip tobacco of images it is glamorous and cool"
