Dataset: Tobacco Control in the Conclusions of the CoE European Committee of Social Rights

The present dataset presents the Conclusions of the European Committee of Social Rights of the Council of Europe in the context of the
reporting system of the European Social Charter on the issue of tobacco control.

To our knowledge, this is the first mapping on the matter and
it aspires to demonstrate the extent to which tobacco control connects to the implementation of human rights’ obligations and in particular to
the monitoring of the rights enshrined in the European Social Charter.

The dataset has been developed as part the study into novel smoke-free policies carried out at the Global Health Law Groningen Research
Centre of the University of Groningen and is financed by the Dutch Heart Foundation, the Lung Foundation Netherlands, the Dutch Cancer
Society, the Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation & the Netherlands Thrombosis Foundation.

Methods include systematic searches of the ECSR’ Conclusions that are publicly available on HUDOC-ESC until December 2020.

The relevant sources are hyperlinked. Search terms used include *tobacco, *smoking, *cigarette, *smoke (excl *black smoke, *industrial smoke
etc).

The funders have not been involved in any of the study design, data collection and analysis.
