Haha it’s a tobacco company. Ethics and keeping to rules is not even something they consider. Just working in a tobacco industry is an injustice to yourself and others. I have told some of my friends straight up, they are idiots for working in tobacco firms. They are just adding to the worsening situation.

Targeting young children, well that is just crossing it. But as I said, they don’t care about standards.

Yeah. Standards ? What is that ?

Big Business has been not-so-casually screwing Africa for years. Drugs way past their use-by dates are dumped on the African market regularly. Weapons traffickers are getting plenty of mileage out of sales of Soviet era weapons and their copies. It’s a sham.

And now tobacco companies are coming in a killing off whoever has been left untouched by everything else going on there with their bloody evil weed (mucho big apologies to my friend ”G” who still smokes). I know that in Asia for a long time the actual amounts of toxins and nicotine in tobacco products was largely unmonitored. Who knows what’s going on with that now... but Africa - OMFG they just don’t need another episode of corporate exploitation...

Smoking. It’s a dying habit.
