Why this blog?

After the positive  experience of a collective blog during the COP2 conference in Bangkok we decided to conference blog again during this 8th Asia Pacific Conference  onTobacco or Health.

We thought it would be good  to have participants share their comments on line about what is happening so that the wider, global community can feel/be involved.

Until now the tobacco control community has not been using very much the web2.0 tools, including blogs.

We hope this conference can be an opportunity to introduce more tobacco control advocates to blogging.

You are welcome to  give it a try by joining the team of our contributors  (it's as simple as email).
