Dear colleagues, [*thanks Eduardo, see note below]
Today I want to share with you the message from Laurent Huber, Executive Director of Action on Smoking and Health (US).
Here is the link to the message: https://youtu.be/uJVlEZQ7vmo
Laurent informs us about how the tobacco industry affects Human Rights, especially those of children and youth, and calls on young people to protect their rights against the abusive tactics of tobacco companies. .
Do you believe that the tobacco industry affects the Human Rights of children and young people? Which ones?
We look forward to your responses.
Kind regards,
*Dr. Eduardo Bianco*
*Director, Addiction Training Program for Health Professionals (ATHP)*
