And this is also a policy of the national and as usual, San Francisco continues to lead the field. And we hope that this can continue, demonstrating the power of young people, and the collaboration of Community Stage organizations and the Health Organizations and the Health Experts and the Community Residents and of course, the store merchant and thank you for sending a message for big tobacco and we will no longer be target and thank you to all of the youth in the room and the generations of the youth people that made this happen, thank you.
