Tobacco control policies in Ukraine: history, public health impact, and current priorities
Open accessAbstract
Ukraine is one of the largest countries in Eastern Europe, with a higher smoking prevalence among men and considerably lower smoking prevalence among women in comparison to Western Europe.Since 2005 Ukraine has adopted national tobacco control policies based on the WHO FCTC recommendations.In the last years anti-tobacco advocacy campaigns are mostly driven by non-governmental organizations in Ukraine.However, despite the reduction of tobacco products' affordability, driven by a significant increase of tobacco taxes and an economic recession, the price of cigarettes in Ukraine is still one of the lowest in the world.In addition, the lack of political will and tobacco industry interference have led to an absence of new non-price tobacco control laws in the last five years.Robust political leadership, and greater collaboration of the authorities with civil society are needed for Ukraine to progress towards comprehensive WHO FCTC implementation; the development of a national plan to prevent smoking initiation among children and teenagers, wider promotion of national smoking cessation service, and the implementation of a code of conduct for avoiding tobacco industry interference while setting public health tobacco control policies.

Ukraine increased tobacco excise taxes by 20 fold between 2008 and 2017, increasing the state budget by 36.5 billion UAH and reducing smoking prevalence by 20% between 2010 and 2017.
“Ukraine had increased tobacco excise taxes by 20 fold between 2008 and 2017, increasing the state budget by 36.5 billion UAH and reducing smoking prevalence by 20% between 2010 and 2017 (IDI2 IDI6 IDI12).42–48”
From Seven-year tobacco tax plan in Ukraine: a case study of the actors, tactics and factors motivating policy passage (2022) · cites this paper as [48]
The Implementation of Tobacco Control Policies section says tobacco taxes increased 20-fold between 2008 and 2017. The Impact on Smoking Prevalence section reports daily smoking prevalence falling from 25% in 2010 to 20% in 2017—a 20% relative decline. Our copy does not report a 36.5 billion UAH increase in the state budget, so that part of the claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
