Intro:

More than 1.2 million signatures have been collected during a one-month No Smoking House campaign in Vietnam.

The figure was released by the Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU) Central Committee and the Office of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Vietnam at a meeting to sum up the campaign in Hanoi on July 22.
