A history of the tobacco industry's lies and scams. From the US in 1953 to Africa today, the controversy between individual responsibility and corporate greed is portrayed in a lucid, undaunted manner.

From scientific frauds to working with organized crime, tobacco companies show their hidden agenda more clearly than ever in this theatrically released documentary.

More than three years of investigating all over the world has allowed Nadia Collot to decipher the attitudes of an industry that, in spite of many prevention campaigns still expands its power at the cost of public health. Three aspects of industry behavior are studied:

1. Scientific subversion: proof of the manipulation of scientific evidence and buying out of scientists to maintain controversy over the health issues related to smoking, but even more so today, related to environmental tobacco smoke.

2. Ideological subversion: whether it be through clever and disguised product placements on screen or TV, creating its own biased health messages, implementing subtle and ingenious marketing tactics or using political lobbying manoeuvres, the tobacco industry has gone to unbelievable extents to do what it says it never will.

3. Economic strategies: to develop as fast as possible, to infiltrate closed-market countries, to better reach the young and the poor, smuggling is one of the ways the industry has chosen to organize its international growth.

  • Can't sell in the USA...go to foregin countries...no one's watching...Is this in English?

  • i want smoke now...

  • @justyman Yeah, then smoke tobacco at your home. You do realize how harmful 2nd hand smoke is, right?

  • @bfmvshinigami For someone who claims to smoke weed, you sure are hostile and awfully rude. Everyone is entitled to there opinion, you have yours and i have mine. And yes smoking is a very enjoyable experience for me, and yes i also smoke weed. Try a spliff its even better.

  • @justyman Enjoy your shit tasting tobacco while I smoke quality dank and extend my life while protecting myself from cancer.

    If you feel smoking Tobacco is joyous experience, then you clearly haven't smoked weed in your entire life.Might as well not give a fuck about the law when you don't care about dying, right?

    I can understand uneducated people in Indonesia smoking, but people who still smoke even after knowing the risks deserve to be bitch slapped. Don't fucking ruin others health.

  • People smoke because they enjoy it, smokers are aware of the risks. Life is short enjoy the little things. We all die from something or other. Smoke up. If any industry is evil its the food industry.

  • chewing on some red man

    

  • @printer342 thank you

  • @MrTufflong BUT, dont put ur fkn tobacco clip in it, or u destroy its natural flavor and properties, and add to it an addictive agent that is NOT found in cannabis.
