Abstract
Tobacco companies frequently use arguments about global trade and investment to strengthen their positions in domestic tobacco control debates. Comparing debates around the plain packaging of tobacco products in Canada in the 1990s with contemporary debates in Australia, Jarman analyzes the effect of this trend on how states define acceptable public policies. Arguing that effective international commitments strengthen states against tobacco firm lobbying, Jarman highlights the importance of international consensus among governments for the resilience of tobacco control policies.
