Dr Judith Mackay MBE has been a devoted campaigner for stricter
tobacco control and a critic of tobacco industry practices for
more than 20 years. From the praise and insults she has received,
she has obviously done her job very well!

The tobacco industry previously called her all manner of
un-savory names, like, “psychotic human garbage,” a
“gibbering Satan” and an “insane psychotic just like
Hitler” yet today she is powerful enough to influence the likes
of billionaire philanthropists Bill Gates and Michael R.
Bloomberg to donate U.S. $375 million to a global effort to
reduce the use of tobacco.

Blasted as “Nothing more than an evil-possessed, power-lusting
piece of meat,” she is about to receive an OBE from the Queen
and has previously been named by Time Magazine as one of the
hundred most influential people in the world. Not bad for a mild
mannered lady who calls Hong Kong home!
