Hello, everyone - and thanks for leaving a message. Noreen, you are absolutely right. How long are we going to do this??? (let's direct that question to Gordon Campbell and Colin Hansen!).

Linda, Jon and Andy - thanks for your kind words. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the radio slots, and there's some more on the way out of province.

Beth, I hope to visit Alberta before too long. Thank you for writing.

Sue, I'm so sorry we didn't get to talk! Radio producers have to stick to unforgiving schedules and when time runs out, that's it. Thanks for calling in and maybe we'll be luckier next time.

Fran in White Rock - thank you for your kind comments. While too many (one is too many) young people fall for tobacco's false promises and lies, take heart. The quit rate for the 20-somethings is encouraging. One young lady in high school after attending one of my workshops announced to the class at the end of it "I just quit smoking". She was so angry with how the tobacco cartel have taken us all for fools she said she was not going to give them one more penny. I was talking to her teacher last week, and three months on she has still not smoked another cigarette.

For anyone who has missed the updates on my website, I'll include a link below to the Imperial Tobacco book order story. A press release went out on CanadaWire the day before the book launch announcing time, place etc. Early morning (7:10 a.m.) the day of the book launch, Imperial Tobacco phoned the publisher's office to order three copies of You Are The Target.

We were all agreed we want no tobacco money and while we have no control over Imperial Tobacco purchasing as many books as they want to through Chapters or Great Canadian Bookstores who stock the book, there is no way we will sell to them directly.

BUT - we sent them a complimentary copy, since they are interested. Before sending it we had a quickie poll "What Would You Like To Say To Imperial Tobacco?" and the response in a few short days was overwhelming. Here's a link to the results:

Best wishes to everyone and thanks again for visiting!
