Tobacco Treaty: Activists Face an Uphill Battle
http://www.corpwatch.org/issues/PID.jsp?articleid=4428
For the next two weeks, government delegates will converge on Geneva to
continue hammering out a treaty aimed at regulating the global tobacco
industry and protecting human health. High on the agenda are bans on
tobacco advertising, a package of measures to tackle smuggling, new
warning labels, bans on misleading branding, and a series of initiatives
to 'globalize' the public health response to tobacco.
Can public interest groups salvage the International Framework
Convention on Tobacco Control? Clive Bates, Director of ASH UK says
they've got their work cut out for them in this special report for
CorpWatch. Bates asks "How Bad Does it Have to be Before it's Worse than
Nothing?"
