Abstract

Introduction
The national government of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has targeted1 a 5% reduction in tobacco smoking prevalence by 2024 (adult baseline: 30.8%, and youth: 27.3% in 2014).1 The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), ratified by FSM in 2005, facilitates the reduction of tobacco use through the implementation of evidence-based policies, such as the ban of tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship (TAPS; Article 13). The national report (2020)2 to the WHO FCTC Secretariat on domestic TAPS policies does not provide a qualitative assessment of the legislative context, the existing loopholes, or how the local policy environment affects implementation and enforcement. This qualitative health policy analysis aims to fill in these gaps.
