ATOD Newsletter
Our spring 2009 newsletter is out! An excerpt from the issue:
“On March 8-12, 2009, one of the world’s largest public health events, the 14th World Conference on Tobacco or Health (WCTOH), took place in Mumbai, India. India is the world’s largest democracy with a fascinating multicultural and multilingual heritage. This was the first time in 12 years that the triennial conference took place in a developing nation, and the first time ever to take place in a country that ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).”
