- Abstract
Over the past five decades, smoking has come to be recognized as a source of multiple physical and psychological ills. An array of increasingly decisive policy responses has evolved to alleviate the problem. The affluent, knowledge-rich, and outward-looking Hong Kong has been relatively slow to acknowledge and confront the dangers of tobacco use. The explanation largely lies in the structural attributes of the territory's governance regime. By establishing a link between these attributes and local strategies to curtail smoking and manage its effects, it is possible to shed fiirther light on the dynamics of regulatory systems in general and in this issue-area, in particular.
