Why this tribute?

When I started thinking about the theme of this 2010 World No Tobacco Day I remembered the many women tobacco control advocates I had the privilege to cyber-interview and also the many courageous women who told in a video format the very personal story of their battle against the diseases tobacco inflicted upon them.

On this blog I have posted 8 such testimonies from Canada, the US, Australia and France and also a recent presentation given by Judith Mackay and a podcast of a presentation given in 2004 by Judy Wilkenfeld.

There are many sheroes who stood up and continue to stand up to raise the awareness about the gigantic pains caused by smoking and the aggressive marketing of the tobacco industry.

This is but a very small token of their contribution.
