| Runners carrying lists with the
names of more than nine million smokers from all
over the country who have pledged either to smoke
less or quit altogether presented them to Deputy
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnveerakul at Sanam
Luang yesterday.
In his birthday address last year, HM the King
expressed concern that health of the nation's
youth was threatened by many factors, including
cigarettes.
The presentation of the lists was the culmination
of an anti-smoking campaign timed to coincide
with celebrations for the 60th anniversary of
His Majesty's ascension to the throne.
