RJ.Andcrson, Chief, Office of External Coordination, World Health Organization. "The Third World smoking epidemic is a problem that none of us can ignore. The prospect that so much information will be available on these countries in one comprehensive volume is one that can only be of benefít to our global community." Michael M. Daubet Chainnan, Organising Committeef Seventh World Conference on Tobacco & Health. ¦ i , "It is our collective shame in the international smoking control effort that so comparatively little information is available about the tobacco industry's largest potential markets. The Atlas shows every promise of admirably filling this gap." Nigel Cray, Chainnan, UICC Program on Smoking and Cancer, International Union Against Cancer. "To prevent this looining epidemic of tobacco use and tobacco-related disease in the Third World, international organizations must enhance their efforts to control the global use of tobacco. A critically important element of this effort is the collection and dissemination of accurate and timely information on tobacco and health. Your Atlas will be helpful in serving that need." Dr. C. Everett Koop, Fonner Surgeon General of the United States. Vissza
