Stop big tobacco exploitation of agriculture


Visit www.FairTradeTobacco.org and view 24 new photographs on the health and socio-ecological costs of tobacco growing in developing countries.  Each month a new set of tobacco farming photographs will be uploaded to www.FairTradeTobacco.org

World No Tobacco (WNT) Day on 31 May 2012 with a tobacco agriculture and human rights theme is the appropriate time for global tobacco control researchers and advocates to show others that tobacco is more than simply a health issue.
Sign the petition below to encourage the World Health Organization to declare "Stop big tobacco exploitation of agriculture" as the theme for WNT Day 2012.
