The WHO MPOWER technical package assists countries in implementing the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. In this package, the letter 'E' stands for:

• A Educate communities about the harms of tobacco
• B Evaluate tobacco use through periodic surveys
• C Establish tobacco cessation clinics in every district
• D Enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship ✓

Explanation

MPOWER comprises six measures: Monitor tobacco use and prevention policies, Protect people from tobacco smoke, Offer help to quit, Warn about the dangers of tobacco, Enforce bans on advertising, promotion and sponsorship, and Raise taxes on tobacco. The 'E' specifically refers to enforcement of advertising bans, not education or evaluation, which are common student errors.
