World's first-ever anti-smoking treaty (2)
------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues!

Greetings from Tanzania!

Indeed this is an important step towards healthy ageing! We do under-
stand that tobacco kills after a long time of heavy smoking (signifi-
cant at least 10 years).

I am working on a program of active ageing aiming at minimising dis-
abilities at old age! This is one of the potential risk factor to un-
healthy ageing.... We take this as important step in the milestone of 
public Health...

Good work so far.... Ministries are now to plan and implement key 
strategies towards this... Urges non governmental and private sectors 
to keep an eye some times the government are reluctant despite such 
agreement!

Regards,
Dr. Bujari
