| The Passage of Tobacco Control
Laws: Thai Davids |
| versus Transnstional Tobacco
Goliaths by Hatai Chitanondh, MD is an important chronicle of the process
of control laws of Thailand--the Tobacco Products Control Act and the Nonsmokers's
Health Protection Act. Passage of these the arguments of the tobacco industry,
mobilizing the media on the side of health. and educating parliamentarians.
The dramatic story of the enactment fo these laws is a tribute to the public
health leaders of Thailand, who fought tenaciously to protect the health
of the Thai people against the machinations of foreign cigarette compaines
and the scourge of tobaccco. |
