The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokefreeworld.org\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foundation\u2019s website<\/a> states that \u201cThe Foundation has secured initial funding of approximately US$80 million annually over the next 12 years, beginning in 2018, from Philip Morris International (PMI)\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The September PMI announcement stated that (note present tense) \u201cThe Foundation is an independent body, governed by its Board of Directors\u201d. The Foundation\u2019s website also states that \u201cThe Foundation has, constituted in its bylaws, an independent research agenda, independent governance\u201d, etc. It provides links to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokefreeworld.org\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/certificate_of_incorporation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Certificate of Incorporation<\/a>, which refers to the overarching role of the Board of Directors who \u201cshall be the members of the Corporation for all purposes\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokefreeworld.org\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/foundation_for_a_smoke-free_world_inc._-_first_amended_and_restated_bylaws.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Bylaws<\/a>, which are cited in Dr Yach\u2019s article as a means of ensuring independence, also refer to the Board of Directors and staff, including a President who \u201cshall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Bylaws state that \u201cDirectors shall be elected at each Annual Meeting of Directors, or if such meeting is not held or Directors are not elected thereat, at a special meeting of Directors called for that purpose\u201d, but from my reading it is not clear how the initial Directors are selected or by whom they are \u2018elected\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2018\/01\/23\/derek-yach-building-a-foundation-to-accelerate-an-end-to-smoking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMJ Opinion article<\/a> by Dr Derek Yach, President of the \u201cFoundation for a Smoke-Free World\u201d, sets out his perspectives on the Foundation\u2019s establishment and processes.<\/p>\n<p>Until very recently the website did not list any Directors.

A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(17)32602-8\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent Lancet article by Dr Yach<\/a> reports (as does his BMJ Opinion article): \u201cDeclaration of Interests &#8211; DY was reimbursed by PMI for initial travel and time specifically related to the development of the Foundation. The relationship was terminated prior to the establishment of the Foundation and the Foundation\u2019s bylaws preclude DY or other Foundation staff or board members from accepting any remuneration from PMI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It would be helpful if the Directors of the Foundation could provide answers on their website to the following questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Who appointed the Directors?<\/li>\n<li><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;font-size: 1rem\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smokefreeworld.org\/newsroom\/foundation-smoke-free-world-announces-board-directors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The media release<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\"> announcing \u201cthe appointment of an initial group\u201d of five Directors lists and refers to five Board members, but the <\/span><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;font-size: 1rem\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smokefreeworld.org\/foundation-leadership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foundation\u2019s website<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\"> now refers to Dr Yach as \u201cPresident and Chair, Board of Directors\u201d.

How is this consistent with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/tobacco\/wntd\/2012\/article_5_3_fctc\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 5.3<\/a> and its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.who.int\/fctc\/guidelines\/article_5_3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guidelines<\/a>, as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tobaccofreekids.org\/media\/2017\/pmi-rejection-quotes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clearly expressed view from WHO and the WHO FCTC Secretariat<\/a> that the Foundation should be treated in the same way as other tobacco industry-funded initiatives, including that \u201cWHO will not partner with the Foundation. Governments should not partner with the Foundation and the public health community should follow this lead\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Dr Yach also asserts that \u201cThe Foundation is informed by the principles and criteria for accepting tobacco industry funding first articulated in a Tobacco Control paper by Cohen, et al. (2009)\u201d. Will the Board correct this assertion in light of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jhsph.edu\/research\/centers-and-institutes\/institute-for-global-tobacco-control\/news-and-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 20 statement from Professors Cohen and Eissenberg<\/a> (\u201cCriteria not met for tobacco industry-supported research\u201d) noting that the Foundation\u2019s claim is \u201cincorrect in several details\u201d and concluding that \u201cdue to lack of independence, the potential for conflicts of interest, and clear public relations gains, the foundation does not represent a tobacco industry-supported funding model that should be acceptable to the research community\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><em>Professor Mike Daube AO is Professor of Health Policy at Curtin University, Western Australia.<\/em><\/strong><!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Mike Daube The Foundation for a Smoke-Free World was announced four months ago, with a September 12th statement from the Philip Morris International company that \u201cPMI currently expects to support the Foundation by contributing approximately USD 80 million per year, depending on the Foundation&#8217;s requirements and operations, over the next 12 years, beginning in [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/tc\/2018\/02\/06\/questions-for-the-foundation-for-a-smoke-free-world\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6833,2148,2143,567],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foundation-for-a-smoke-free-world","category-framework-convention-on-tobacco-control","category-tobacco-industry","category-who"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
