Big Tobacco

"Big Tobacco" refers to the large corporations that produce and market cigarettes and other tobacco products. These companies have historically dominated the industry, employing extensive marketing and lobbying efforts to promote tobacco use. Despite widespread awareness of health risks, they have often resisted regulation and concealed information about the harms of smoking. Their influence has shaped public health policies and contributed to ongoing debates about advertising, addiction, and corporate responsibility. Today, Big Tobacco remains a significant player in the industry, adapting to changing laws and consumer trends while facing increased scrutiny and efforts to reduce tobacco consumption.
