Découvrez les dernières actualités concernant l'ingérence de l'industrie du tabac dans notre bulletin du mois d'août
The latest bulletin highlights significant concerns over the tobacco industry’s influence on policymaking in Africa. In South Africa, the Public Health Association of South Africa raises concerns about conflicts of interest during the Parliamentary Health Portfolio Committee hearing on the Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Control Bill. While in Zimbabwe, the tobacco industry continues to exaggerate its economic contributions to sway policy, exemplified by the Zim–China Tobacco Expo—an event orchestrated through a partnership between Zimbabwe’s Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board and an international trade NGO—intended to legitimize the industry’s role despite its detrimental public health and development impacts.
