British American Tobacco marketing cigarettes to African youth

with one comment

What a shame that big tobacco in the UK hasn’t learned from the smackdown big tobacco in the US got a few years ago.

An investigation for the BBC has found evidence in Nigeria, Malawi and Mauritius of rules being broken.

In particular, it found single cigarettes – which campaigners say are attractive to young people – were being promoted and sold.
