[Intl-tobacco] Poland goes tobacco ad-free

[Robert Weissman]

Dear Friends,

It gives me great pleasure to impart to you perhaps one of the most
important news for good
health of Poles.

Last night (on the 5th of December) I looked over Polish newspapers and
magazines. I did not
find any tobacco ad.

A year before (on 5th of December) tobacco ads disappeared off
billboards throughout Poland,
and yesterday tobacco ads disappeared off all written mass media in our
country.

Poland has become one more country free of tobacco advertising. Besides,
tobacco companies
are now banned from sponsoring sports, cultural, educational, health and
socio-political
activities and events. I should like to thank all our friends all over
the world, who made
our success possible.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

I am pleased to invite you all to the 3th European Conference on Tobacco
or Health (June 20
22 June), see: http://www.ectoh2002.org.

Taking this opportunity I wish you all Happy Christmas and the Best New
Year 2002.

Witold Zatoński
