WHO Public Hearings, Geneva; 12-13 October 2000
Dear colleagues,

I am sending this very quick reminder that WHO needs confirmation of your
organisation's 'intention to talk' by 31 August - ie in a few days time.
There have been very many submissions from the tobacco industry but
***PERILOUSLY FEW*** from public health/tobacco control NGOs. It is
particularly important to include economic arguments in favour of tobacco
control in some of the submissions.
Below is a form for submissions - please respond directly to WHO, not to me.
And PLEASE don't miss this opportunity. Many thanks.
Best wishes and thanks, Judith
Dr Judith Mackay, MBE, JP, FRCP (Edin), FRCP (Lon), FHKAM
