Introduction Tobacco is one of the most smoked plants globally with serious health problems, although most individuals never take them seriously. Globally, as approximated by the World Health Organization (WHO), annually health complications resulting from cigarette smoking cause more than five million adult deaths; a number that is likely to reach ten thousand by 2020 (Prokhorov et Al., 2006, p.1). In addition to such enormous adult numbers, globally, the use of nicotine products causes more than a quarter a million adolescent and children deaths annually; a case that is prevalent in developing nations. It is important to note that, effects resulting from tobacco smoking; be they social, health, environmental or economic affect both smokers and nonsmokers. This is because, through such deaths, a country not only loses its active, innovative, and resourceful population, but also the economic gap left behind by such individuals causes many financial strains to the health sectors and families(World Health organization, (n.d.), Para. 1). Considering the adverse nature of effects resulting from tobacco smoking the WHO in 1998, came up with the Tobacco Free Initiative (FTI), as a scheme of creating global awareness on the consequences of using nicotine products. To implement this in respect nations, WHO collaborated with world governments in formulating tobacco control measures, aimed at controlling the production, distribution, and sale of tobacco products. Most Governments’ tobacco control initiatives center on price control (through taxation), advertising, and rehabilitation programs for individuals who want to quit smoking (World Health Organisation, 2010, p.1). Discussion Tobacco-Free Initiative (TFI) Although individuals since time memorial have known the adverse nature of effects resulting from tobacco smoking, most smokers have always ignored such effects; a fact that led to the uncontrolled increase in numbers of smokers between the years 1967-1992 (from 2.8 trillion to 5.7 trillion). This is also evident presently; whereby, globally there exist more than 1.22 billion smokers globally. Due to such rapid increases, in 1998 the WHO came up with the TFI, as a primary measure of reducing the impacts of ailments and deaths resulting from tobacco consumption. It is important to note that, most TFI measures of tobacco control are a long time and aim to alleviate any environmental, health, social, and economic burdens caused by effects resulting from tobacco to both users and nonusers. WHO adopts such initiatives as primary mechanisms of protecting both the present and future human generations, as tobacco consumption poses a threat to the existence of the human species (Medicus Mundi Switzerland, 2010, Para. 1-2). For the achievement of its primary mission, TFI provides international leadership guidelines, which are the primary promoters of sensitization campaigns in all global communities. In addition, because of the passing of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in 2003, TFI provides methodologies of ensuring global communities implement Specifications in the WHO FCTC. Provisions in FCTC are very crucial in the World Health Organization’s endeavor to control the consumption of tobacco products, for it provides mechanisms of ensuring global communities respect and offer required support to any tobacco control initiative (Toba
