The purpose of the ITC project in Mexico is to monitor the reactions and support for tobacco control policies in an important middle-income North American country that has ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and is yet to implement new policies. Mexico signed the FCTC on August 12, 2003, and ratified the treaty on May 28, 2004.
