Tobacco Control and the New WHO Director-General

‘ We will scale up efforts to control tobacco, including full implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control’  

That was the pledge made by Dr. Margaret Chan, the WHO Director-General elect in her acceptance speech on 9th November, 2006. Dr. Chan beat 12 other candidates to the post, including Dr. Julio Frenk, the Mexican Health Minister who entered into a controversial agreement with the tobacco industry in 2004.
