1. If the budget is poor, the programme should target the most cost-effective interventions, ask for free radio and television presentations, collaborate with various associations (medical and social, etc.) for voluntary anti-smoking interventions. Cessation programmes can be partially charged to companies and administrations. The programme should increase the awareness of the funding agencies and of the government about the cost-effectiveness of the various types of interventions, and call for external funding agencies to be involved (e.g. the Bloomberg Foundation).
