Davao City smoking ban gains world recognition
The city government’s stiff campaign against smoking here has gained global recognition for its commitment to promote smoke-free policies.
This, as the Global Smoke-free Partnership (GSP) recently announced its winners for this year, with the Davao City Anti-Smoking Task Force winning in the governmental body category.
In a statement sent to Manila Bulletin on Thursday through fax, GSP said the city’s anti-smoking task force came out on top for its “exceptional leadership and commitment to further smoke-free policies by a governmental agency.”
GSP is an international organization formed to promote effective smoke-free air policies worldwide. The partnership is a fusion of American Cancer Society and the Framework Convention Alliance to bring the World Hearth Federation and International Union Against Cancer and other organizations to advocate for and reinforce anti-tobacco policies.
