Uruguay's decision to roll back plain packaging is a capitulation to the tobacco industry, a setback for the country’s global leadership in tobacco control and a loss for the health of the citizens of Uruguay.

The revolving door between the FDA and Philip Morris International is shameful. PMI sold 625 billion cigarettes in 2021, accounting for 71% of their revenue. No one should be fooled by claims that they’re committed to a smoke-free future.

Juul will face new marketing restrictions in the U.S. including not paying influencers or depicting people under 35.

Yet in the absence of action from social media platforms, other tobacco giants continue to use these tactics to target kids online.

This is not the first time a tobacco giant has been caught trying to buy favor.

Tobacco companies will stop at nothing to block, delay or undermine life-saving public health measures.

TikTok is being urged by ASH to take a "responsible approach" towards content relating to e-cigarettes on the platform. It comes as ITV News found TikTok accounts that link to websites to buy vapes in bulk, with a mere tickbox for age verification.
