La Fondation pour un monde sans fumée (Foundation for a Smoke-Free World), créée en 2017 par le géant du tabac Philip Morris International (PMI), est au cœur de nombreuses controverses. Si elle affiche comme mission de lutter contre les méfaits du tabagisme, son financement et ses objectifs réels suscitent des critiques virulentes de la part des experts de santé publique et des organismes de lutte contre le tabac. Voici pourquoi cette initiative est si controversée. 1. Un financement issu de l'industrie du tabacLa fondation est entièrement financée par Philip Morris International, à hauteur de 1 milliard de dollars sur 12 ans. Ce financement massif pose un problème de crédibilité : comment une organisation sponsorisée par une multinationale dont les profits dépendent de la vente de cigarettes peut-elle réellement œuvrer pour réduire le tabagisme ? Beaucoup y voient un conflit d'intérêts flagrant, accusant la fondation de servir avant tout les intérêts stratégiques de PMI. 2. Promotion des produits alternatifs de Philip MorrisLa Fondation met fortement en avant les produits de « réduction des risques », comme les cigarettes électroniques ou le tabac chauffé, notamment le dispositif IQOS de Philip Morris. Ces alternatives, bien que potentiellement moins nocives que les cigarettes traditionnelles, ne sont pas sans risques pour la santé. Les détracteurs estiment que la fondation utilise ces arguments pour détourner l'attention des méfaits des cigarettes classiques tout en promouvant des produits qui perpétuent l'addiction à la nicotine. 3. Stratégie de « blanchiment d'image »De nombreux experts considèrent la Fondation pour un monde sans fumée comme une opération de greenwashing ou de healthwashing. En créant cette initiative, Philip Morris cherche à se repositionner comme un acteur responsable de la santé publique, tout en continuant à produire et vendre des cigarettes. Cette démarche pourrait détourner l'attention des actions législatives contre le tabac ou des poursuites judiciaires liées à ses pratiques passées. 4. Rejet massif par la communauté scientifiqueDes organismes comme l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et des associations anti-tabac dénoncent cette fondation comme une tentative de manipulation. L'OMS a explicitement demandé aux gouvernements et aux institutions de ne pas collaborer avec elle, rappelant que les conventions internationales de lutte contre le tabac, comme la Convention-cadre pour la lutte antitabac, recommandent une distance stricte avec l'industrie du tabac. 5. Risques pour la recherche indépendanteLa fondation finance des études scientifiques, mais ces financements sont perçus comme biaisés. Les experts craignent que cela n'influence les résultats pour soutenir des conclusions favorables aux produits alternatifs de PMI, menaçant ainsi l'intégrité de la recherche sur la lutte contre le tabagisme. En conclusion La Fondation pour un monde sans fumée est controversée car elle est perçue comme une stratégie sophistiquée de Philip Morris pour redorer son image et défendre ses intérêts commerciaux. Plutôt qu'une véritable initiative de santé publique, elle est souvent qualifiée d'outil de lobbying déguisé, sapant les efforts mondiaux pour réduire le tabagisme. Hébergé par Acast.

Moira Gilchrist, chief communications officer at Philip Morris International, joins Paul Holmes to discuss the “Fifth Estate,” and the changing face of activism.

In this episode of On Boards, hosts Joe Ayoub and Raza Shaikh welcome Lucie Claire Vincent, a global leader in consumer products and an independent board director, to discuss the vital role of risk governance in board effectiveness. Lucie Claire shares insights from her distinguished career at Fortune 100 companies, her experience as an independent director, and her work with the Directors and Chief Risk Officers Institute (DCRO). Lucie Claire also delves into the importance of earning the Qualified Risk Director (QRD) designation and the impact it has on boardroom discussions and decision-making. With her rich international experience and expertise in risk governance, she offers actionable insights for board members and aspiring directors on navigating the complexities of modern board oversight. Key Takeaways The Importance of Risk Governance in the Boardroom: Lucie Claire emphasizes the board's role in overseeing risk, particularly in a fast-changing environment where issues like AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk management dominate the agenda. Positive risk governance can shift perspectives from mere risk avoidance to value creation. DCRO's Educational Programs: DCRO's Certificates in Risk Governance and Cyber Risk Governance provide comprehensive, globally recognized training for directors and executives. These programs combine in-depth content, business case analysis, and cohort-based learning to enhance participants' ability to manage and oversee risk effectively. Earning the Qualified Risk Director (QRD) Designation: Achieving the QRD requires a rigorous self-assessment, relevant professional experience, and references, positioning individuals as experts in risk governance. Lucie Claire describes the designation as akin to being a “qualified financial expert” for risk, making QRD holders valuable assets to boards. Bringing Value to the Boardroom: Lucie Claire's certification has enhanced her ability to guide discussions on innovation, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning with a risk-positive mindset. Her contributions have been particularly relevant in her role with technology and B2B organizations. Who Should Pursue Risk Governance Credentials? Current and aspiring board members, as well as senior executives, can benefit from these programs to build resilience, value, and trust within their organizations. Networking and Continued Learning: DCRO fosters a global community of risk professionals through events, newsletters, and case studies, providing ongoing learning opportunities for its members. Quotes "The concept of positive governance in risk-taking changes how you see risk. It's about value creation and having a more strategic, long-term view of the business." "The diversity of industries, thought, and verticals in my DCRO cohort enriched the conversations. It's fascinating to see how risks are addressed differently across sectors." "Most boards still place the risk component within the audit committee, but as risk becomes more complex, there's a growing need for separate risk committees." Guest Bio Lucie Claire Vincent is an accomplished leader in global consumer products, having held senior roles at Colgate Palmolive and Philip Morris International. She serves on the board of Toluna, advises startups in consumer technology, and is an adjunct professor at NYU's School of Professional Studies. A lifelong learner, Lucie Claire holds multiple governance certifications, including a Qualified Risk Director designation from the DCRO Institute.

I've had a bit of time now to look at the so-called 'independent advice' released by Casey Costello on the efficacy of heated tobacco products which she's so curiously and steadfastly supported. To remind you, there is one company that has been providing these heated tobacco products in New Zealand: Philip Morris. That company's external relations manager is the former chief of staff for New Zealand First and while Casey Costello says she has no links to the tobacco industry and that the tobacco industry has nothing to do with the policies she supports, she insists the heated tobacco products have a 'similar risk profile to vapes,' and so she wanted to see the excise tax on these products halved. What did the official advice say? First of all, the tax side - Philip Morris had a monopoly on the market, so it was hardly surprising that Treasury pointed out there was nothing that would make Philip Morris pass on excise tax cuts to consumers. And then, the health side. The Ministry of Health could find "no compelling evidence of the devices helping to stop smoking" So then to justify such a move, halving the tax, you'd think Casey Costello would have to have some compelling evidence that Heated Tobacco Products were really effective as a smoking cessation tool, for people who weren't simply vaping instead. Except, she didn't. Her evidence included an opinion piece, an article which says heated tobacco products *might* help smokers quit but could also attract non-smokers, an outdated study that doesn't mention heated tobacco products, a study of snus (which isn't a heated a tobacco product), an article talking about Japan, which doesn't have vaping and relied on data from Philip Morris International and the Tobacco Institute of Japan, one of whose founding members was Philip Morris International. I mean, come on - I can't recall a time when such a poor standard of evidence has been cited by a Minister advocating for this kind of legislative change. This isn't some rando backbencher, this is a Cabinet Minister. We all deserve better.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The global landscape of both tobacco marketing and Western religious organizations is undergoing a significant shift toward developing countries. As demand for tobacco products and church attendance decline in Western markets, these entities increasingly target emerging markets in the third world to sustain their growth. Like thirsty travelers seeking new wells, the tobacco industry and Western religious organizations reach out to developing countries, looking for new audiences and followers. Recent studies have uncovered deliberate strategies employed by tobacco giants like Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco in India and Uganda. These strategies include targeted advertising campaigns and legal battles to limit health warnings on packaging, indicating a concerted effort to attract young consumers and promote continued tobacco use. Similarly, Western religious organizations are expanding their influence in developing countries, where they find new followers and sustain their presence. Despite their different natures - one being a commercial industry and the other a social institution - both aim to expand their influence by tapping into regions with growing populations and potential for new converts or consumers. This comparative analysis highlights the ethical implications and socio-economic impacts of their strategies in these emerging markets. Let's Light Up the Incense and Dive In! The Golden Age of Tobacco Advertising Tobacco companies historically targeted young people in Western countries through market research and tailored advertising. In the UK during the 1950s and 1960s, market research emphasized the importance of recruiting youth to the smoking habit. Advertising themes and promotions were designed to appeal to young people, such as the introduction of the Strand brand, which portrayed cigarettes as a social prop to overcome loneliness. Marketing in the Developing World These historical strategies in Western countries are now being replicated in developing countries. Studies have revealed how tobacco companies target young people in developing countries to sustain their growth. For example, Philip Morris International has been targeting young people in India through colorful advertisements and promotions at clubs and parties. At the same time, British American Tobacco has fought legal battles in Uganda to limit health warnings on packets and displays. These tactics are aimed at attracting young consumers and promoting continued tobacco use, contributing to the rise in smoking rates and public health concerns in these regions. Tobacco's Toll on Society The aggressive marketing strategies employed by tobacco companies have had a significant impact on smoking rates and public health in developing countries. As a result, smoking rates have increased, leading to a rise in tobacco-related illnesses and deaths. The limited regulatory measures in these regions have allowed tobacco companies to continue these harmful practices, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive tobacco control measures. These marketing practices often target vulnerable groups, such as young people and low-income communities, exacerbating existing social inequalities. Tobacco companies exploit these populations by promoting their products as symbols of success and modernity, leading to increased tobacco use and its associated health and economic burdens. The financial costs of tobacco use, including healthcare expenditures and lost productivity, place a significant strain on already limited resources. Furthermore, the health consequences of tobacco use, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers, further hinder economic development by reducing the productive workforce and increasing healthcare expenditures. Overall, tobacco marketing in developing countries perpetuates a cycle of poverty and ill health, highlighting the urgent need for robust tobacco control measures to mitigate these impacts.

The market sees the first cut in September, but our economist says you don't have to wait that long – it's going to be July. We'll ask what makes him so confident. Plus, no signs of an AI slowdown. Nvidia crushing it once again, with data center growth up more than 400% from last year. And that's good news for this company. Nvidia and all the big tech giants are clients. The CEO joins us live ahead. And there are Zyn-fluencers and now there's a Zyn rewards program. We look at the explosive growth of the tobacco-free nicotine pouches, how Philip Morris International is capitalizing on it, and how much upside our analyst sees for the stock because of it. 

Indonesia is the world's second largest cigarette market: two out of three men smoke, and clove-laced tobacco cigarettes called kretek make up 95 percent of the market. To account for the staggering success of this lethal industry, Kretek Capitalism: Making, Marketing, and Consuming Clove Cigarettes in Indonesia (University of California Press, 2024) moves beyond a focus on the addictive hold of nicotine to examine how kretek manufacturers have adopted global tobacco technologies and enlisted Indonesians to labor on their behalf in fields and factories, at retail outlets and social gatherings, and online. The book charts how Sampoerna, a Philip Morris International subsidiary, uses contracts, competitions, and gender, class, and age hierarchies to extract overtime, shift, seasonal, gig, and unpaid labor from workers, influencers, artists, students, retailers, and consumers. Critically engaging nationalist claims about the commodity's cultural heritage and the jobs it supports, Marina Welker shows how global capitalism has transformed both kretek and the labor required to make and promote it.  Marina Welker is Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University and author of Enacting the Corporation: An American Mining Firm in Post-Authoritarian Indonesia.  Reighan Gillam is an Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College.

Freedom of speech is one of the fundamental tenets of a liberal democracy, and yet threats to freedom of speech today don't so much come from authoritarians abroad as they do from within. The idea of ‘no-platforming' those you disagree with, or ‘cancelling' them, has taken root in all forms of public debate, and increasingly so in science. The word ‘science' can today often be a shorthand for ‘truth', which creates an orthodoxy where diversity of opinion is not welcomed. Science is meant to be ongoing process of finding truth, where what each generation takes as given may well be overturned as we discover more. On this podcast, we will be looking into the question of free speech within science, and asking whether we have lost sight of what science means. Is it simply the case that in an age where misinformation travels at lightning speed, there needs to be greater restrictions on freedom of speech in science? Cindy Yu, assistant editor at The Spectator, is joined by Professor Jay Bhattacharya, an expert in health policy at Stanford University, David Willetts, a former science minister who sits on the board of a number of scientific bodies, and Dr Gizelle Baker, who trained in biometry and epidemiology and is the vice president of global scientific engagement at tobacco company Philip Morris International.

Andrea is joined by Stefano Volpetti, President of Smoke-Free Inhalable Products and Chief Consumer Officer at Philip Morris International. They discuss PMI's bold vision to replace cigarettes with smoke-free alternatives for the 1.1 billion adult smokers globally. Stefano provides insights into PMI's transformation into a consumer-centric company driven by data, science and technology to accelerate the end of smoking. Stefano also discusses his leadership approach during this unprecedented industry transformation, the importance of courage and learning from mistakes, and his humble background that gives him a sense of lightness in leading change! KEY TAKEAWAYS PMI aims to convert 70,000+ employees and 1.1 billion smokers to embrace smoke-free alternatives to improve public health. PMI had to transform into a consumer-centric company focused on data, science and technology to enable this disruptive change. PMI uses the "4As" model - awareness, acceptability, availability and affordability - to change behaviours and transition smokers to smoke-free products. Leading unprecedented industry change requires courage, surrounding yourself with diverse experts, and humility to learn from mistakes. Having overachieved his early life dreams gives Stefano an inner lightness that enables him to lead boldly without heavy pressure. Choosing who you work for based on trust and freedom is more important than choosing the role or compensation. Never forget the human element when making decisions, this will help you avoid mistakes. Stefano learns the most from other people, he describes his learning as ‘human-centric' and says he learns the most from interactions with a diverse range of people BEST MOMENTS "The faster we get there, the better the impact on public health globally is." "When you are trying to do something you've never done before the probability that you will do some mistakes is very high." "The higher I go, the more lightness I feel on my shoulders because I know that I have already overachieved my best life dreams." “Choose the people you work for instead of which business you work for” VALUABLE RESOURCES Like the show?

The amount of technology available to TA teams has exploded, and innovation is moving so rapidly that it is almost impossible to keep up. In a world driven by shiny objects syndrome taking a long-term strategic view when it comes to TA technologies is crucial.
