abstract: 'The tobacco industry''s future depends on increasing tobacco use in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), which face a growing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
burden of tobacco-related disease, yet have potential to prevent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
full-scale escalation of this epidemic. To drive up sales the industry
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
markets its products heavily, deliberately targeting non-smokers and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
keeps prices low until smoking and local economies are sufficiently
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
established to drive prices and profits up. The industry systematically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flaunts existing tobacco control legislation and works aggressively to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevent future policies using its resource advantage to present highly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
misleading economic arguments, rebrand political activities as corporate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social responsibility, and establish and use third parties to make its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arguments more palatable. Increasingly it is using domestic litigation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and international arbitration to bully LMICs from implementing effective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies and hijacking the problem of tobacco smuggling for policy gain,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attempting to put itself in control of an illegal trade in which there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is overwhelming historical evidence of its complicity. Progress will not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be realised until tobacco industry interference is actively addressed as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outlined in Article 5.3 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exemplar LMICs show this action can be achieved and indicate that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exposing tobacco industry misconduct is an essential first step.'
