Summary

The Trade Policy and Development Centre was established in 2004 as the Civil Society Trade Network of Zambia (CSTNZ) and subsequently renamed in 2009 to become an economic think tank focused on trade and development. While previously advocating for trade, it has since pivoted to serving as a research and policy-making body dedicated to economic progress and stability. This shift has enabled the center to conduct comprehensive studies on public health trends, particularly regarding smoking habits across different demographics, including high-risk groups such as men and women. The public health seminar highlights the critical need to implement a Tobacco Control Bill in Zambia to protect vulnerable populations. Dr. Cosmas Zyambo, a public health senior lecturer at the University of Zambia, emphasized that addressing smoking rates is vital not only for individual well-being but also for the country's long-term economic viability and social stability.
