(highlight:: Creating a Full Vaccine for Change
Summary:
The tobacco control movement applied a 'full vaccine' approach to limit promotion, restrict smoking areas, increase product prices, offer alternatives to support quitting, and shape a new environment.

Sometimes fall into judging too easily and perhaps thinking negatively about those people who think differently. But I quite like the saying that there isn't anyone who couldn't be loved. There isn't anyone who we couldn't learn to love if we knew their story. So exercising empathy in understanding people with different ways of thinking than ours, I think is one of the key principles that we need to take into this work.)
