Chinese Delegates Visit New Jersey
Delegates
from China visited New Jersey's Office of Tobacco Control on September
24, 2010. GASP Executive Director, Karen Blumenfeld, gave a presentation
during the visit. The presentation consisted of key federal and state
tobacco control legislation which regulates the use, manufacturing,
marketing and sale of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products. Other
topics covered: emerging trends in smokefree multi-unit housing; outdoor
tobacco-free recreation areas; health and safety concerns of hookahs/water
pipes; and other tobacco-related products not FDA-approved for cessation
including electronic cigarettes. The guests participated in the sessions
with the help of two translators. Left, Vincent Zhang, a translator
and organizer of the event from Sunels International, is shown with

Jersey. Additional participants are shown working, above, and in group
