After the Smoke Clears
The 2008 Tobacco Control Conference, "After the Smoke Clears", was held at the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel on
May 1, 2008. Sponsored by the Hawaii State Department of Health, Community Health Division,
Chronic Disease Management and Control Branch, Tobacco Prevention & Education Program, and
Tobacco Settlement Project, the conference's overall goal was to advance the knowledge of
professionals and community members to increase their effectiveness in tobacco control
in the context of health, cultural, and economic issues from global, national, and local
perspectives. The theme of the conference focused on the challenges that remain in tobacco
control after the smoke clears and our perspectives are sharper.
