Quitting like a Turk: How tobacco control became a political priority in Turkey

Lecture and Discussion by Connie Hoe, MSW’07, PhD Candidate (Johns Hopkins University)

This lecture will feature a fascinating case study about how a group of people changed tobacco control policies in Turkey. Ms. Hoe’s research highlights how social change can be achieved in regions, such as Turkey, with strong state tradition, and in communities where tobacco has deep historical, political and cultural value.
