The "real health promotion" involves:
a) an appreciation of the broader determinants of health;
b) recognition of the importance of social and welfare
policy on health and well-being;
c) emphasis on community-based activities that increase
individuals' "control over their health."
(all for now, I guess).

I am curious to hear your comment that nutrition and
smoking are not REALLY health promotion. I would ask you,
then, for your definitions of health promotion and
especially those that would indicate that subject matter
such as this are not included in the processes of health
promotion.
