abstract="Thank you Professor and good morning everyone, friends and colleagues. Let me thank you for the invitation to take part in this Calisia Conference. It is a great pleasure for me to see professors like Professor Witold Zatoński, with whom I was growing up as a tobacco control activist and from whom I was learning how to make public health policy. I remember that Professor 25 years ago was calling me a tobacco control baby. I wonder how many of you know about the regional tobacco control conference 25 years ago in Poland, which began to turn my professional career into public service. I am very thankful to the professors that at that time were working and doing a tremendous job, demonstrating not just to Polish society but to the international society that tobacco control can be science and evidence based. Thank you very much Professor Witold for what you have done not just for Poland, but for international society.",
