Track and Trace
From TobaccoTactics
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe World Health Organization is currently drafting a protocol to eliminate illicit trade in tobacco products as part of its Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which will include the establishment of a national or regional and global tracking and tracing systems for all tobacco products, beginning with manufacturing equipment and continuing throughout the supply chain.[1]
Industry Proposed Solution
The big four tobacco companies have entered into a formal agreement to adopt and propose the 'Codentify solution' developed by Philip Morris International, which is the application of a digitally generated 12-number algorithm onto a cigarette pack.[2]
See the page on Codentify.
