I hope you did not lose any loved ones in the tragedy in New York and Washington DC. In this context it is difficult to keep the focus on tobacco control but we are trying. Our heart goes to all who suffer.

Thank you Cynthia for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself ? 

Cynthia Callard: I have worked on tobacco issues intermittently since the mid 1980s - the past six years with Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada (PSC). PSC was established in 1985 by an energetic group of Canadian physicians who wanted to ensure there was a constant and watchful eye on public policy issues concerning tobacco use.

University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada

Thank you Rick for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?

I grew up in New England in the 1950s and naively smoked Marlboros for 15 years, throughout my college and graduate school years and when first teaching, even smoking in the classroom in 1966-1970. I teach in a business school (UBC, Vancouver), sharing my training in marketing, consumer behavior and advertising.
