Three short years ago in Cape Town at the World Conference on Tobacco or Health, International Women’s Day was dedicated to highlighting the impact of women on tobacco control and the impact of tobacco on women and girls. It was a day of celebration and optimism, as an entire conference focused on issues of health equity, gender, science and tobacco policy. Key speakers from around the world opened a conference that was gender balanced and for the first time, highlighted a stream of content on health equity.
