Thanks to you all for visiting here and leaving your comments. I'm home now after being on the road since late May visiting dozens of schools from elementary to senior secondary and meeting so many of you in person. It's been great! World No Tobacco Day on May 31 is well acknowledged everywhere. I loved the fourth graders' efforts to mark the occasion with their video about the tobacco industry - the knowledge they already have about nicotine addiction and tobacco use is impressive and a compliment to their parents, teachers, Tobacco Reduction Co-Ordinators and healthcare workers.

Part of this tour has involved my first visit to some areas of B.C. and it won't be my last! As usual the best part was meeting so many students, teachers, school administrators and health care professionals working to tell the truth about tobacco. Kick the Nic programme is alive and well and congratulations to all those who have committed to it at all levels. Your welcome was warm and I thank you - also for the private emails I've had. To the public health nurses in Smithers area - thank you for a memorable Sunday and my first "vertical hike"! Whew! The view from the top was was well worth the effort to get there (not to mention the mosquito bites)!

It is great to hear from all of you. I'm sure teachers and students alike are counting the days 'till summer holidays.

Have a great summer, all!
