Did you know that millions of public funds are being used to support an industry responsible for 22,000 deaths every single day?
In this short video, I tried to expose the tobacco industry interference which leads governments to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars into the tobacco industry under the guise of protecting jobs. I highlight the case of Turkey, a country that courageously withdrew tobacco subsidies. This bold move not only redirected funds but also created jobs in sustainable, green industries.
