Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health
Meeting Summary: April 13, 2005
Global Tobacco Epidemic
Public Comments
Matthew Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, emphasized the importance of
the day's meeting and how important collaboration among and within countries is for effective
tobacco control efforts. He challenged the Committee, however, to encourage the United States'
ratification of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). Mr. Myers believes that without
ratification, the United States risks losing its leadership role in tobacco control efforts internationally.
