Poorer countries could of course introduce domestic laws to curb the promotion of smoking. But such measures face tough opposition from the tobacco industry and those sectors funded by tobacco sponsorship, from sports to culture. A survey of 400 recent films released by India's "Bollywood" found that 320 had scenes involving smoking, usually presenting it in a positive way. If such countries had an international treaty obligation to control tobacco use, it might strengthen their health ministries' hands in overcoming the tobacco lobbyists'(说客) influence on domestic politics.
International agencies like the World Bank are convinced that higher taxes will curb tobacco use, though there is not much evidence to support this. Given their dependence on tobacco revenues, it is unlikely that finance ministers and state treasurers around the world would be so enthusiastic about increasing taxes if they really thought it would lead to smokers quitting en masse (全体地).
