Worldwide surveillance of tobacco use and control is essential to develop and implement effective interventions to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with tobacco use. The World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Bank, and the American Cancer Society are working together to track changes in tobacco use and control activities in order to help monitor and evaluate interventions and justify necessary policy and programmatic adjustments

The Tobacco Control Country Profiles (Profiles) monograph represents an important step in the development of an information system to support global tobacco control efforts. The Profiles updates the World Health Organization's 1997 publication, Tobacco or Health: A Global Status Report, and highlights priorities for future data collection efforts. A "transparent" document, the monograph provides readers with the original sources of all data included in its pages.
The National Tobacco Information Online System (NATIONS) completes the Profiles. Unlike the Profiles, NATIONS is an interactive electronic system, capable of reporting time trend data for some variables and updating information as new facts become available.
Despite the efforts made to obtain and validate data and information, many gaps in, and uncertainties about, the actual tobacco situation remain.
