Résumé

Le réseau de lutte antitabac a trouvé des moyens de prévention d’une épidémie de tabagisme dans les pays en voie développement, à travers l’adoption de lois sur la lutte contre le tabac. Cependant, leurs efforts sont entravés par les entreprises de tabac. Utilisant les théories du transnationalisme et du réseau d’activistes transnationaux, cette étude examine les nouvelles stratégies adoptées par le réseau de lutte contre le tabac pour entraver les activités du réseau de l’industrie du tabac dans la région africaine. L’étude conclut que le réseau de lutte contre le tabac adopte une approche continentale/ régionale par laquelle les idées/stratégies communes de lutte antitabac sont partagées avec les acteurs de différents pays au même endroit pour promouvoir la conformité avec le régime de prohibition du tabac. Le réseau est en train de créer et de financer des organisations régionales, qui sont utilisées pour faire une campagne commune de lutte contre le tabagisme. L’étude conclut que la promotion d’une stratégie/ d’un message commun (e) de lutte contre le tabac à travers l’approche régionale peut aider à réduire ou proscrire les activités de l’industrie du tabac dans les pays africains et éventuellement dans d’autres pays en voie de développement. C’est parce que la stratégie utilisée par les entreprises de tabac pour répandre leurs produits dans les pays en voie de développement est similaire. L’approche régionale veillera également à ce que les maigres ressources puissent être réparties afin de promouvoir la lutte antitabac dans de nombreux pays en voie de développement.
