Alleged Violations of Tobacco Control and Other Laws

Tobacco companies aggressively block, weaken, and undermine policies designed to protect public health and reduce tobacco use, and at times they have been found to work outside of countries’ laws. In multiple instances tobacco companies have been found to have violated the law.

In the United Kingdom, Philip Morris International allegedly violated a long-standing ban on tobacco and tobacco-related products advertising by stocking retailers with advertisements of their new product.
