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

My first official day in tobacco control was Leap Day 1988. That is the day I started work in Washington, DC, as assistant director of the national Coalition on Smoking OR Health, whose director was Matt Myers. I had decided sometime before then that I would leave the traditional practice of law and devote myself to public interest advocacy.

Nota: I met with Mahamane Cisse during the 11th world conference on Tobacco or Health in Chicago. A slightly different version of this interview was published in the daily journal of the conference (in the August 10th issue).

I am an attorney in Bamako (Mali) and the President of a young non-governmental anti-tobacco organization, SOS Tabagisme. I recently filed two lawsuits against the local BAT subsidiary for illegal advertising.
