This evening in Shenzhen, China, American Cancer Society staff and volunteer leadership joined the global cancer control community, government leaders, civil society, and journalists for the opening of the UICC World Cancer Congress 2010, led by Dr. Xishan Hao, president of UICC World Cancer Congress 2010 and president of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association. Distinguished speakers at the opening ceremony included Dr. Chen Zhu, Health Minister for China, who addressed cancer issues facing China and the importance of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) World Cancer Congress.
During the UICC General Assembly meeting earlier today, the UICC awarded the American Cancer Society’s John Stevens, MD, former vice president, Research, the UICC Award for Outstanding Volunteer in recognition of his 20-year stewardship of the Society's International Fellowship for Beginning Investigators program. John Seffrin, PhD, national chief executive officer, American Cancer Society accepted the prestigious award on behalf of Dr. Stevens. About 2,900 attendees and 200 journalists are attending this conference, which takes place every two years. The Society will host and participate in many activities throughout the conference and staff will deliver presentations each day.
Also earlier today, Dr. Seffrin joined Tobacco Atlas co-author Dr. Judith Mackay and World Lung Foundation Chief Executive Officer Peter Baldini for a press briefing on the upcoming release of the Chinese version of The Tobacco Atlas, Third Edition, published by the American Cancer Society and World Lung Foundation. A press conference, jointly hosted by the American Cancer Society and the World Lung Foundation, will be held at the UICC World Cancer Congress at 12:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, August 19. This global Tobacco Atlas, released in Spanish in Mexico City earlier this year and in English last year, is a valuable and user-friendly resource for tobacco control advocates, governments, health care officials, and the media. Chinese media outlets, including Health News, Health Care News, News Express, and China Daily, conducted a group interview to ask questions about the Tobacco Atlas, China’s tobacco burden, and a recent report launched by the China CDC on tobacco usage trends in China.

In my experience V2 has been ehviyterng I hoped for. I did A LOT of research before settling on V2 as my e-cig, and since my starter kit arrived (over a month ago) I have not had a cigarette. They have managed to mimic the whole sensation/feeling/throat hit of smoking an actual cigarette. Use the code 75965 on the final payment page and it will save you 15 percent on your starter kit. V2 has changed my life and no i do not work for them just love the product.

When I was about 10 we lived in PA. for a year. While there we went to visit an Uncle that live in Key West. What I remember most about Florida is the smell. YUK! Smelled like Tacoma WA. where all the paper mills are. Key West was cool ogtuhh. As a kid it was fascinating to watch from the back seat as we drove for miles on those long, long bridges . Lot's of memories.

If somebody has a dip of chew a day and shows no signs of wear and tear from it on the gums or teeth can they get mouth cnecar before the wear and tear occurs? Also how long does it normally take for somebody to get the cnecar from the tobacco? I have a friend that has chewed for 3 years now and has no signs of any side effects in his mouth. Does it take 10 years 20? How long before cnecar is a serious possibility? I want very educated answers or from experience. Thank you
