Is the Tobacco Industry Getting Away With Murder?    17 07, 2017

ASH worked with Sick of Smoking (https://sickofsmoking.nl/en/) on this video to highlight a Dutch criminal complaint against the tobacco industry for murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, inflicting and attempting severe physical harm and deliberately harming health. Tobacco is the only legal consumer product that kills its consumers when used as intended. As the filing Dutch Criminal Lawyer Bénédicte Ficq says in the video, “I cannot understand that when you hit someone with a hammer, you are being prosecuted for serious harm. Or when you administer poison, you are prosecuted for poisoning. But the tobacco industry is left untouched while ultimately doing the same.”
