 Highlights

    ★ Charcoal-burning suicides increased markedly in several Asian countries in the 2000s.
    ★ Previous interventions aimed at restricting access to charcoal showed an effect in the short period after the intervention.
    ★ We found no effect on reducing suicide of the intervention in the five years after intervention.
    ★ Future means restriction programmes for suicide prevention should be comprehensive and sustainable.
