"Bill and Melinda Gates announced yesterday that they were joining Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, in a $500m campaign against smoking in the developing world.
The initiative, which will include campaigns to persuade people of the inadvisability of smoking, and efforts to induce governments to impose bans - is a departure for Gates. His foundation has been primarily committed to finding solutions to health problems, such as vaccines for killer diseases. But he is joining forces with Bloomberg, who made New York smoke-free in 2002 and gone on to found an anti-tobacco initiative working to get worldwide bans.
Bloomberg's initiative supports projects that increase tobacco tax, change the image of tobacco, protect non-smokers from exposure to smoke, and help people quit. Together with the World Health Organisation, he launched the Mpower package of evidence-based interventions this year: monitor tobacco use and the policies to prevent it; protect people from tobacco smoke; offer smokers help to quit; warn of the dangers of tobacco; enforce bans on advertising, promotion and sponsorship; and raise taxes on tobacco."
How are you gonna let me smoke and then ban the whole freaking world from smoking!?
Big tobacco and the Government, get us hooked, make ass loads of money, successfully kill us off before 65, and if we survive, they rip our smokes right from our hands...
Makes me mad enough to want a smoke.
