Microsoft founder Bill Gates holds The Tobacco Atlas during a press conference in New York, Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Gates and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg are pouring $375 million into a global effort to cut smoking. Until Gates read the atlas and said, ‘Wow, why aren’t we looking at this?’, the Gates Foundation had concentrated on infectious diseases like AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria rather than chronic ones like the cancers caused by tobacco.
Lead author of the atlas is Myriad founding director, Dr Judith Mackay, who was recently awarded an OBE for her international work on tobacco control. In 2007, she was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine.
