  1. Congratulation Dr. Javaid A. Khan for having World No Tobacco Award 2009, sponsored by WHO.

    I am also member of National Alliance for Tobacco Control and had attended its first meeting in Dec 2008, but after that only contact by emails, and do not know who are the Executive Committee Members, or say Board of Directors, except at emails it says Chairman Dr. Javaid A. Khan.

    Hope to read more comments on this subject soon.
