Matt Myers about the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use

Rendez-vous 168 - May 15, 2007

I had sent a series of questions to Kelly Henning of the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use so that we can understand better how it operates.

Matt Myers took to the task: " Kelly forwarded to me the questions you posed to her. As one of the Bloomberg grantees I volunteered to respond because each of us involved with this effort want to be sure that we all do everything inform the community about this extraordinary initiative and the opportunities presented by Mayor Bloomberg's generosity and commitment to reducing the number of people who die from tobacco use."
