Inter-Ministerial Tobacco Control Taskforce of Laos, together with Ministry of Health and Ministry of Information and Culture, organized a workshop to celebrate World No Tobacco Day 31 May 2010 with representatives from local media in Laos. The purpose of the workshop was to officially introduce Tobacco Control Law to media and this year’s World No Tobacco theme ‘Gender and Tobacco with the emphasis on marketing to women’ as media plays a very important role to reach the general public around the country. Laos’ Tobacco Control Law has selected the same day (31 May) of each year to be National No Tobacco Day.
