Community Medicine (PSM) · Non-Communicable Disease Control (Cardiovascular, Cancer)

MPOWER is the WHO policy package supporting implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. In this acronym, the letter 'P' stands for:

  • A Prevent initiation of tobacco use among youth
  • B Provide subsidised nicotine replacement therapy
  • C Promote tobacco-free households through community campaigns
  • D Protect people from tobacco smoke
Correct answer: D. Protect people from tobacco smoke

Explanation

MPOWER stands for: Monitor tobacco use and prevention policies, Protect people from tobacco smoke, Offer help to quit tobacco use, Warn about the dangers of tobacco, Enforce bans on tobacco advertising and promotion, and Raise taxes on tobacco. Option A sounds like a logical tobacco control measure but is not part of the acronym, which makes it the strongest distractor.
