17 Collaborative Ideas 17

18 Evaluating Global Policies on Taxation and TAPS Objectives: Evaluate and strengthen domestic policies on SLT taxation in the region Evaluate and strengthen the national level policies on ban on TAPS in SEAR Encourage Parties to implement larger and stronger health warnings (HWs) Collect, compile and create evidence on SLT taxation, HWs and TAPS ban of SLT products in SEAR Capacity building. 18

19 Creating a repository for SLT relevant Health Warning The current repository is for cigarette packages, SLT specific warnings are yet to be collated. Purpose: it will serve as a database for Parties to share and implement in their jurisdictions 19

20 Providing evidence on effect of ban on spitting Parallel to second-hand smoke, the harmful effect of smokeless tobacco is assumed to be spread by spitting in public places. However, lack of evidence gives us no clear picture. Need for further research in this area 20

21 Developing an inventory of nations having appealing media campaigns against SLT use Some Parties are practicing effective media campaigns against smokeless tobacco use. Such campaigns need to be highlighted and their outcomes to be shared in an inventory for Parties reference and support. 21

22 Global webinars related to SLT policy Capacity building Training of health professionals Interaction among stakeholders and other knowledge hubs for research 22

23 Assisting NTTLs in developing standard protocols for tobacco testing Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) for testing and analysis of Tobacco products are presently focused on smoked products. Such reference manuals, relevant to Smokeless products, are need of the hour. 23
