Abstract
The research project analyses the efficacy of the ban on smoking in public places in
Uganda as well as institutional efficacy in the same context. In response to the threat of
public smoking on public health in Uganda which has been continuous, enactment of
different laws to attempt to ensure that there is compliance with such laws. Thus there
are several institutions that have been established in the attempt to ensure that the law
is properly and effectively implemented. However despite the existence of such laws
and institutions, Ugandans continue to inhale tobacco smoke. The study therefore
explores the legal and institutional efficacy as well as the challenges that hinder the
realization of the right to a tobacco smoke free environment through an examination of
the scope of the right, legal framework, institutional framework in context of practical
experience from just viewing it, in regard to provisions of the law. The study thus
recommends several legal administrative and other measures for the realization of the
ban and institutional efficacy on smoking in public places in Uganda.
