PANADER-TORRES, Adriana; AGUDELO-CELY, Nancy Aurora; BOLIVAR-SUAREZ, Yolima e CARDENAS-CARDENAS, Luz Mery. Tobacco control: an intersectorial experience in Tunja (Colombia). Gac Sanit [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.6, pp.508-510. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2014.05.012.
Tobacco control in Colombia is regulated by Law 1335 of 2009. The implementation and monitoring of the provisions of this law require strengthening of intersectorial work at the local level. This field note presents an intersectorial work experience that was carried out in the municipality of Tunja (Colombia) to improve tobacco control. The Respirarte Group was established. This group consists of an intersectorial team composed of 15 institutions. The Respirarte Group achieved the following political and community actions: signing of an agreement on tobacco control by government actors, expedition of a local decree to comply with Law 1335 in the municipality, provision of information and communication, and social mobilization and monitoring. This experience serves as a national and international reference and its lessons could be used in the approach to other public health problems.
