New Surgeon General Blog on Tobacco U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has published his first blog, and it's on tobacco control!  "Reflecting on the 50th anniversary year, I am inspired by how much was accomplished by working together – across sectors from the private sector to education to local government – in just one year. Never before have we had so much momentum toward ending the most preventable cause of premature death in this country. As we embark on the 51st year of first Surgeon General Report, let us celebrate the progress we have made, while not losing the momentum and inspiration for continuing this work."
