Dear Betty,

It's sad to hear that All-Nigerian Consumer Movements' Union (ANCOMU) will leave Nigeria due to weak implementation of law. Tobacco is a real problem in Nepal also. We need such organizations and activists to improve the health of Nepalese youths. I teach in a college and get surprised to find that mostly youths are addicted to tobacco.

I appreciate your effort.
