Edited by Andrew D. Mitchell, Professor, Faculty of Law, Monash University and Tania Voon, Professor, Melbourne Law School, The University of Melbourne, Australia

Tobacco use represents a critical global health challenge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco kills nearly 6 million people a year, with the toll expected to rise to 8 million annually over the next two decades. Written by health and legal experts from institutions around the globe, The Global Tobacco Epidemic and the Law examines the key areas of domestic and international law affecting the regulation of tobacco.

‘The book is destined to become a reference point for scholars and practitioners alike. This is even more the case if one considers the fact that the volume constitutes a valuable addition to the state-of-the-art and other co edited volumes of the coeditors. This important collection illustrates the extent to which convergence between international law and domestic law is occurring.’
