MAKING A KILLING: PHILIP MORRIS, KRAFT AND GLOBAL TOBACCO ADDICTION

The Global Health Residency Tracks of Christiana Care Health System, in partnership with the Delaware Academy of Medicine & Delaware Public Health Association, are pleased to invite you to this month's global health talk.

Speaker: Tim Gibbs, MPH, Executive Director
Delaware Academy of Medicine
Delaware Public Health Association

In 2000, long before the pervasive nature of social media had been developed, Philip Morris, Kraft, and many other companies were influencing populations to adopt habits that are proven to have a negative impact on health.  First the award winning movie "Making a Killing," released in 2000 will be viewed, then we'll bring things up to speed with current marketing practices around the globe in follow-up discussion.
