Mexico ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) on May 28, 2004. Seven survey waves of the ITC Mexico (MX) Survey have been conducted among the first cohort of adult smokers aged 18 and older in Mexico by researchers from the University of South Carolina and Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública. In 2018, a new cohort of adult smokers and vapers aged 18 and older of the ITC Mexico (MEX) Survey was established.
