E-mail: [email protected] Original: English Web site: www.euro.who.int The current status of the tobacco epidemic in Poland ABSTRACT This report was prepared within the framework of the current biannual joint cooperation agreement between the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health of Poland as an element in the implementation of the Bloomberg Global Tobacco Control Initiative. Poland was one of the countries that pioneered the tobacco control effort. In 1995 it passed the Act on Protection of Health against the Consequences of the Use of Tobacco and Tobacco Products, amended multiple times since then. In 2006 Poland joined the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control. This report presents the current spread of tobacco-smoking in Poland, including the health and social aspects, epidemiological data and economic, legal and political issues. The report also seeks to define key areas in need of improvement and the consequential priorities of tobacco control policy in the medium term.

Historyczne podłoże konfliktu Streszczenie: Antagonizm Bydgoszczy i Torunia stanowi jeden z przykładów trwania sporu posiadającego wielowiekową historię. Pograniczne położenie oraz burzliwy rozwój gospodarczy miast regionu stanowią, w miar ę postępu współczesnych warunków politycznych oraz społeczno-gospodarczych, przyczyny podziałów, nietracących na aktualności. Dlatego historyczne związki obu miast, okoliczności ich powstania i rozwoju stanowią świadectwo niejednolitego charakteru wzajemnych relacji Bydgoszczy i Torunia. Jakkolwiek wiedza na te- mat genezy do dziś istniejącego antagonizmu bydgosko-toruńskiego posiada ważne znaczenie dla zrozumienia charakteru tego osobliwego sąsiedztwa, a dodatkowo stanowi istotny kapitał o znaczeniu poznaw- czym procesu kształtowania się aktualnych podziałów politycznych w regionie. Słowa kluczowe: Bydgoszcz, Toruń, rywalizacja, relacje polsko-krzy- żackie, prawo składu, polityka handlowa.

    WiFi4EU stories: an interview with Chief Information Officer of Bydgoszcz, Poland The EUR 15,000 WiFi4EU voucher has allowed the municipality of Bydgoszcz to renew their public Wi- Fi network while creating opportunities for the development of eServices for citizens and tourists. https://www.visitbydgoszcz.pl/en/ WiFi4EU stories: Bydgoszcz, Poland The municipality of Bydgoszcz is a major cultural, industrial and educational center in the region of Kujawsko-Pomorskie, located in northern Poland. Between the rivers Brda and Vistula, the diverse architectural designs and the unique musical scenario of Bydgoszcz attract tourists all year round. The WiFi4EU voucher has allowed the municipality to renew their public Wi-Fi network while creating opportunities for the development of eServices for citizens and tourists. Seeking to know more about the implementation of the EUR 15,000 voucher in Bydgoszcz, the WiFi4EU team spoke with Janusz Popielewski, Chief Information Officer. The city is not new to European initiatives and funds therefore the Local Council happily welcomed the European Commission grant for high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity. “The entire process was very simple for us. The competition rules were simple enough and everything was well described. It did not require filling in complicated applications, and the final payment was carried out without our mediation, which further simplified the entire process”, explained Popielewski. The WiFi4EU voucher won during the first call has been channelled towards the modernisation of the city’s already existing public Wi-Fi network. The municipality largely invested in a network able to cover relevant indoor and outdoor areas throughout Bydgoszcz. Thanks to WiFi4EU and the municipality’s additional funding, a total of 90 access points were purchased and located in the territory.

    38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B.
