This project is a continuation of HealthBridge’s efforts to reduce tobacco use and contribute to the achievement of SDGs in Vietnam by strengthening the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).

The proposed project’s overall goal is to pass a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages by 2022 and work toward establishment of front-of-package nutrient labels in Vietnam.

HealthBridge participated in a five country research project to increase understanding of the impact of tobacco pricing and packaging strategies on smoking onset, smoking cessation, tobacco consumption and equity in middle-income countries.
