In a year when the world grew ever more cynical about the United States’ role in the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) negotiations, it was heartening to see protests by US citizens calling on their government to take a responsible, leadership role in support of a tough convention. In July, several hundred people, including around 200 teenagers involved with the Reality Check youth empowerment programme, convened near the United Nations headquarters in New York City. Their message to the US delegation to the FCTC negotiations was: "Save Lives, Not Big Tobacco!". The centrepiece of the demonstration was a large model of a Marlboro pack, subtly improved to specify the contents as "US pack of lies".
