The burden of disease is highest in low- and middle-income countries, where more than 80% of the world’s 1.3 billion tobacco users reside. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines six proven strategies to reduce tobacco use, referred to by the acronym MPOWER, with one of the strategies being to offer tobacco users help with quitting. Many low- and middle-income countries provide tobacco-cessation services; however, only 31 meet the WHO best practice, defined as providing both cost-covered behavioral interventions and pharmacotherapy. In this article, case studies from India and Vietnam illustrate how cross-country differences in tobacco-related sociocultural norms, tobacco-use patterns (e.g., smokeless tobacco or water pipes), the tobacco-control regulatory environment, industry influence, and health care system financing shape treatment access and uptake.
