Public health experts push for data-driven tobacco policies
公共衛生專家推動基於數據的菸草政策
Public health experts argue that data serves as the "backbone" of effective tobacco control.
公共衛生專家認為，數據是有效菸草管制的「骨幹」。
By utilizing systems like the Global Tobacco Surveillance System, policymakers can tailor interventions to specific demographics, benchmark national progress against international standards, and counter deceptive industry marketing tactics.
透過利用像全球菸草監測系統這樣的平台，政策制定者能夠針對特定人口量身訂做干預措施；將國家進展與國際標準做對照，並反制菸草業的欺瞞行銷手段。
A central pillar of these efforts is the World Health Organization's MPOWER framework, which provides six evidence-based measures including monitoring use, enforcing smoke-free laws, and raising tobacco taxes.
這些努力的核心支柱是世界衛生組織的MPOWER框架，該框架提供了六項基於實證的措施，包括監測菸草使用、執行無菸法律以及提高菸草稅。
Tobacco companies frequently lobby against regulations, exploit loopholes with new technology like e-cigarettes, and use opaque digital algorithms to target youth.
菸草公司頻繁遊說反對法規、利用像電子菸這類新技術鑽法律漏洞，並運用不透明的數位演算法鎖定青少年。
Given that tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable death globally, experts insist that data-driven policies are vital.
鑑於菸草仍是全球可預防死亡的主要原因，專家堅持以數據驅動的政策至關重要。
Without a commitment to aggressive strategies—such as taxation and endgame legislation—the current decline in smoking rates risks plateauing.
若沒有投入積極的策略（例如課稅和終結性立法），當前吸菸率下降的趨勢恐怕會停滯不前。
