Dear Friends,

Recently Philip Morris (Thailand) Ltd. donated 3 million Baht (about
$75,000 US) for two English language teaching programs on Channel 11, a
Thai Government TV channel. Philip Morris has also donated funds to
other causes through a government auxiliary organization of the Interior
Ministry.

TAKE ACTION: Click on the link below to send a letter to Thailand's
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health, urging Thai government
agencies to immediately stop accepting tobacco industry
sponsorship/funding!

On behalf of, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) Thailand, THANKS FOR
TAKING ACTION!
