Intro: Nearly 1,000 people participated in the demonstration, carrying signs and banners that promoted World No Tobacco Day and ADRA's stop smoking campaign, the Tobacco or Health program. They also took part in a ceremony declaring the National Military Hospital (also known as Preah Ket Mealea Hospital) a "smoke-free zone."
