Doctors unite to push for tobacco ad ban: Ten million doctors across the world have joined forces to urge governments to ban tobacco advertising and clamp down on "misleading" claims made by cigarette manufacturers.
Medical associations representing doctors in 117 countries want world leaders to agree on a robust international treaty to curb tobacco use.
Activists Say US, Japan, Germany Block Tobacco Pact: Activists accused the United States, Germany and Japan on Thursday of thwarting efforts to reach a tough global pact against smoking and said other countries may need to seek a deal without them.
They said the three powers, home to big cigarette firms, were almost alone in opposing a sweeping ban on tobacco advertising in treaty talks in Geneva.
