16 September 2010

Paris, France


Le Forum Info-ecigarette.fr invite les vapoteurs à se rencontrer :

* Ce sera l'occasion pour les curieux de se renseigner sur la cigarette électronique et de tester différents modèles ;
* les plus confirmés pourront comparer produits, bricolages 'custom' et autres inventions (nous imaginons volontiers quelque chose ressemblant à une concentration de motards, à celui qui aura la plus belle moto ;-)

Nous avons cru comprendre qu'il y aurait des 'Special Guests' connus pour ambiancer les plateaux ; et aussi la présence d'un tabacologue susceptible de situer la cigarette électronique dans une perspective de la cessation complète du tabagisme. Et nombre d'autres surprises...

Venez nombreux (et accompagnés, c'est mixte) ! Infos auprès de mcortex@free.fr

MASS LUNG FUNCTION TESTING on World Spirometry Day

14th October 2010

Worldwide


Free spirometry will be offered worldwide. This event will be one of the top opportunities to raise awareness about lung health through the public and the media. The European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Lung Foundation (ELF) will coordinate the organisation of the event.

Each national respiratory society, each patient association, every hospital and every physician will have the responsibility to support this event at its own level.

Spirometry will be delivered to the general public, using primarily the facilities already available in the hospitals and clinics. In each country, a special event, with higher visibility should be organised to attract media attention, such as at the government, with the minister of health, or local celebrities.

The ERS and ELF will coordinate the event at three levels:

1. Providing material and support for the organisation to the YOL partners and the local/national organisers.
2. Organise the overall media communication, provide briefing templates to be used at the national level for the general public and the patients.
3. Offer a special section of the YOL website to monitor in real time the number of tests performed and collect reference data.

(US) National Harm Reduction conference

18th - 21st November 2010

Austin, US


Get ready to gear up for the 8th National Harm Reduction conference.

The 8th National Harm Reduction conference will take place at the midpoint of President Obama’s first term. It will be an ideal time to reflect upon what progress we have made. Our work addressing the health and social justice needs of drug users has often been one that has been oppositional but now perhaps we can expect support. Will there be a commitment to preventing drug overdoses among users? Will Congress have appropriated real money to fight viral hepatitis? Will this Administration tackle mass incarceration? Will there be talk of drug treatment on demand? Will there be funding for syringe exchange now that the heinous federal ban has finally gone? However it is, our struggle remains an intense one when it comes to undoing the decades of propaganda -- the cornerstone of the drug war.

Amidst the hope and adversity of our times, comes the 8th National Harm Reduction conference. It will be a place to organize, network, relax, refresh, reboot, and rekindle. Austin in November is a great place to be. The weather is good. The ambience is hot and the conference will be awesome. It is your conference, so bring your best ideas, experiences and passion. We are a diverse crew of drug users, ex-users, researchers, frontline workers, social workers, doctors, nurses, politicians, policy wonks, but all harm reductionists at heart. Get your abstracts written and submitted!
