Hey all, I am in Chicago for the 2005 National Conference on Tobacco or Health. I've been having a great time, and I've met a lot of awesome people from around the country. I helped out with a presentation about the tobacco industry world wide, and I talked about my experience in Malaysia. I've also learned a lot from others.

The youth of the conference (from more than 25 states) got together and participated in some cool activism, I'll post an article when I find one. We displayed 1,200 pairs of shoes in a busy square to represent the 1,200 Americans who die each day from tobacco related ilnesses, and how we don't want to fill those shoes (like the tobacco industry wants us to)

But I have been having an excellent time here, I've had Indian food twice! The weather has been great, and the city has been beautiful.

Take it easy, and take it global!
