Is Licensed to Kill, Inc concerned that the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control might thwart the companys ambitious plans for global expansion?
It’s true that if the current draft text of the treaty is adopted by the World Health Assembly in May, it will be much harder for our company to realize our dream of a Global Massacre, L2K, and WOMD in the mouth of every child, woman, and man around the world (and their precious money in our pocket). One of the most concerning provisions in the draft text is a ban on tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship, which will eliminate one of our most effective avenues for hooking kids to our addictive product line. Our company is counting on tobacco industry allies within the U.S. government to thwart the adoption of the FCTC, and further our quest for ever-increasing profits at the expense of global public health.
