Looking back at the World Lung Foundation African News in 2014

Five stories in 2014 on the site of the World Lung Foundation: on December 2nd about a mass media campaign in Kenya, on October 16 about images provided for free for graphic pack warnings in Africa, on September 8 about a regional media campaign in Francophone countries (see the clip about a former smoker with mouth cancer, but only 308 views on YouTube), May 29 about progress made in Africa, March 18 about a regional workshop for six countries in Kampala about counter-marketing, February 19 about the first mass media campaign in Gambia, November 21 2013 about the Africa Tobacco Report published by the American Cancer Society.

Looking back at the African news stories published in 2014 on the FCTC' site

Six posts concern Africa in the news published on the FCTC's site (I have included one published in December 2013).
Let us start with December 11 2013 about the tax hike in Niger, then in 2014 there are posts on March 16 about the new law passed in Senegal, on April 14 about the AFRO Shadow report for Senegal, on May 14 about a training workshop in Madagascar, on May 29 about a Voice of America program titled Why is smoking increasing in Africa, on November 1st about Hellen Neima (from Uganda) participating in COP 6. Looking for more I did not find anything else but I noticed this post of November 2013 about the 2012 African shadow reports wit the title: Lack of political will, awareness... The more things change... and this interesting one also of November 2013 about Uganda and Tobacco Industry Interference.
