WHO’S NEW INITIATIVE
The World Health Organization has embarked on the new campaign against smoking. Representatives of professional associations of doctors, pharmaceutist, dentists, etc. participating in the meeting held in Geneva decided to appeal to health care workers to become an example by reducing their own level of smoking.
The participants reached an agreement on facilitation of the signing and ratification process of the WHO framework convention on tobacco control in their countries.
The convention adopted in May 2003 set standards for tobacco matters – raise the taxes and prices, prevent the illicit trade, packing, advertisement, and secondary smoke. 87 countries and the European Union have signed and 6 countries have ratified the Convention until now. The convention will be opened for signing in the UN headquarters until June 29, 2004.
