The Foundation for the
Prevention of Smoking among Youth (Rookpreventie Jeugd) plans to sue the Dutch Government
for not adhering to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control of the World
Health Organization. The Convention states that the tobacco industry cannot
have any influence on the anti-smoking policies of countries, and the
Netherlands has signed this convention. Yet the Dutch government invites the
tobacco industry to give its opinion when such policies are defined. The
Foundation says that every year, 20,000 Dutchmen die from smoking-related
causes. The key figures in the Foundation are the lung doctors, Wanda de Kanter
and Pauline Dekker. Wednesday, September 10, 2014
