Theme: stakeholder agreement and cooperation | |
Cooperation among various stakeholders | “We have a long tradition of cooperation among NGOs, governmental institutes and researchers – we are working together.” |
Political consensus | “…all the different political parties agreed to the (goal). So this is a subject in which we don’t have big differences whether you are from the left, right, middle or whatever.” |
Shared views | “I just love it when we meet with these tobacco control people because it’s like we have a joint religion because we have the same views.” |
Theme: conventional, demand-side policies | |
Strategical success | “So the emphasis, and I think it’s also been the WHO policy, should be reducing demand. And we are doing it so well that why change that policy.” |
Legislative success | “We've had the advertising ban since the first Finnish Tobacco Act and it's been written in such a way that when the e-cigarette came, we were able to implement it.” |
Outcome success | “Now the (goal) seems very good at the moment because youth smoking is going down quite quickly, even more than was predicted when this SimSmoke was made.” |
