Influencing Science

30/11/2022

Some tobacco companies make financial donations or contributions to the community, health, welfare, or environmental organizations directly or through other entities. The disclosure of these corporate “socially responsible” activities to the public might be considered commendable. However, its likely effect is to directly or indirectly promote tobacco products.

Traditionally consumed in rural areas and by men, a recent increase in use among young people in urban areas was observed.

After more than a decade of pressure from increasing government tobacco controls, a growing illicit cigarette economy and changing consumer attitudes towards smoking, South Africa's Tobacco industry was subjected to a twenty-week prohibition on the sale of all raw tobacco leaf, processed tobacco and all manufactured tobacco products under lockdown measures. This led to the industry losing significant market share to illicit cigarette sales. The industry also faced an 8% increase in excise duties and announcements of renewed government efforts to finalise further tobacco controls.

It is not uncommon to find companies that adopt voluntary rules to eliminate or reduce the regulation of government agencies and, therefore, circumvent control measures. The tobacco industry has taken this path, as a way of privileging its agenda. Furthermore, it has used strategies to create a respectable image, as a company interested in the common good, all over the world2. Communication and marketing specialists are hired to reshape the company's image, without necessarily making any objective changes to the company's internal policy.

The next time you go for a walk, look at the ground. How many littered cigarette butts do you see? Chances are, more than a few. Cigarette butts are the most littered item on the planet—4.5 trillion are discarded every year. While cigarette waste may be the most visible form of environmental degradation the tobacco industry contributes to, it’s only one way the industry creates lasting damage to the environment and subsequently, the people who live in it (that’s all of us—smokers and nonsmokers alike).

A Fundação CDC convocou uma reunião de especialistas em dezembro de 2018 para discutir se um protocolo de vigilância da indústria do tabaco seria útil em nível global. Os participantes foram convidados a identificar e abordar questões sobre o desenvolvimento de protocolos e indicadores potenciais. Os participantes destacaram a necessidade de indicadores que sejam padronizados, mas flexíveis às circunstâncias de cada país (com base em mapeamento político), que aloquem “magnitude” ou peso diferente a esses indicadores e que qualquer indicador deve medir múltiplos resultados que afetam muitas camadas de influência da indústria. Muitas ferramentas e dados já estão disponíveis, destacando a necessidade de agrupar e acessar o que já está disponível, em vez de duplicar os esforços.
