These interventions were implemented nationally in Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three good practice national examples were identified that focused on creating supportive tobacco\u2010free environments and upgrading cessation skills among paediatricians. These country examples highlight strategic areas to protect children and families from the harms of tobacco, as part of NCD prevention and control. Training paediatricians in brief cessation advice has enabled them to address tobacco\u2010using parents. Fully enforcing smoke\u2010free public areas has led to an increase in smoke\u2010free homes. The Tobacco Free Generation is a tobacco control \u2018endgame\u2019 strategy that taps into a social movement to deglamorize tobacco use and empower youth born in and after year 2000 to reject tobacco and nicotine addiction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Tobacco control is pivotal in the fight against NCDs; health promotion strategies to protect children and youth from tobacco have a critical role to play in NCD prevention and control. Frontline health workers, including primary care paediatricians, need to step up and actively advocate for full implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, including tobacco tax increases and smoke\u2010free areas, while monitoring patients and their parents for tobacco use and second\u2010hand smoke exposure, preventing adolescent smoking uptake, and offering cessation support. A life\u2010course approach incorporating child\u2010focused efforts to prevent initiation of smoking and second\u2010hand smoke exposure with measures promoting cessation among parents will offer the greatest chance of overcoming future tobacco\u2010related NCD burden.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.12472","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,8]],"date-time":"2017-05-08T02:37:59Z","timestamp":1494211079000},"page":"774-778","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Protecting children and families from tobacco and tobacco\u2010related <scp>NCDs<\/scp> in the <scp>Western Pacific<\/scp>: good practice examples from <scp>Malaysia, Philippines<\/scp> and <scp>Singapore<\/scp>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6523-2142","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
