this is just another example of the tobacco industry trying to cover its tracks by claiming they want "progressive regulation" but it's all about protecting their profits and putting people's lives at risk
So it's no surprise that big tobacco is trying to water down anti-tobacco laws in Africa, especially when we know they're doing the same thing in countries with stricter regulations . Like, who wouldn't want to sell cheaper, more toxic products? And now they're saying they care about public health? Give me a break . It's all just about lining those pockets and avoiding accountability . The fact that they're trying to paint themselves as victims in this situation is just laughable . Newsflash: you reap what you sow, tobacco industry .
