‘The tobacco industry’s behaviour has been disgraceful,’ say academics. MUST READ!

Published on

The Tobacco Industry Interference Index Report for South Africa 2020, launched this month, looks at the activities of the tobacco industry during 2019. Although the report was completed by an international company, three South African organisations were invited to edit the document, including the National Council Against Smoking (NCAS), the Research Unit on the Economics of Excisable Products (REEP), and the Africa Centre For Tobacco Industry Monitoring And Policy Research (ATIM).

The report is based on the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Article 5.3, which looks at how health policies are protected from or influenced by the tobacco industry, and what governments are doing to address tobacco industry interference.
