Anti-Tobacco Advocates Doubt PMI Will Really Give Up Traditional Tobacco Products
An investigation by UK media and consultants said anti-tobacco advocates doubt whether Philip Morris International will truly phase out conventional tobacco while promoting heated tobacco products.
According to reports from Channel 4 Television in the UK, a survey conducted by a local television station in collaboration with a consulting agency indicates that Philip Morris International, which operates tobacco businesses in the UK, has begun promoting its so-called "reduced risk" new heated tobacco products.<\/span><\/span>
At the same time, Philip Morris International has publicly announced its efforts to abandon traditional tobacco products, hoping to cease the production and sale of its well-known traditional cigarette brand—Marlboro—in the UK in the near future.<\/span><\/p>
In response, anti-tobacco advocates question whether big tobacco companies will really give up traditional tobacco products in the future, expressing their skepticism.<\/span><\/p>
