On the same day that Formula One (F1) strategies to undermine tobacco control legislation were discussed at the World Conference on Tobacco or Health in Helsinki, news agencies reported that the Canadian Grand Prix was to be dropped from the 2004 calendar. F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone insisted that tobacco advertising was the sole reason for the decision. "Our problem is quite simple. The Formula One teams with tobacco-related sponsorship lose part of their revenue when a certain percentage of the events ban tobacco sponsorship." This was the reason the Belgian Grand Prix was not included in the 2003 calendar, he added.
