RFI: Tobacco use in Africa (3)
------------------------------
Dear Linda Fong,
Your appeal for information on tobacco use in Africa was forwarded to
me. I suggest you look at WHO's website - they have data (although it
is a bit old - mostly from 1995 I think) by country. This is being
updated, though. Emmanuel Guindon <guindone@who.ch> at WHO could let
you know when more recent data will be available.
You might also wish to contact the WHO AFRICA regional office - you
will probably find contact information on WHO's site.
We should soon have a website up at http://www.worldbank.org/tobacco
that will also have country-level data (the site developers are fix-
ing some final glitches before the site goes up - sorry I don't know
exactly when they will be done).
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Joy de Beyer
