[Intl-tobacco] International Day of Action re: Smokefree Movies

[Robert Weissman]

Dear Friends,

Yesterday, an International Day of Action for smokefree movies took
place, and GPTC groups in nearly 20 countries participated!  Reports
have started to come in from around the world. We will be compiling all
of them and sending a detailed global summary out early next week.

In the meantime, we encourage you to check out the International Day of
Action website which features two resources that GPTC groups were
involved in, an international youth survey and a short video of
interviews with youth around the world.
