[Shola Sholaz]

As part of activities marking d 2013 World No Tobacco Day, WNTD, British American Tobacco, BAT, has brought to fore the implications of stifling a legal tobacco industry, as advocacy groups kick against all forms of tobacco advertising.
.
In the same vein, the tobacco company issued a series of images to illustrate what it believes the world would look like, if d legal tobacco industry is forced out of existence.
Kingsley Wheaton, BAT's Group Head of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs, warned that, "The reality is that people will continue to smoke.
.
But instead of buying legal taxed cigarettes, made by legitimate tobacco companies and sold by reputable retailers, they'll turn to black market sources to get what they want."
.
According to Wheaton, "D tobacco industry is highly regulated, sells a legal product and we have a legitimate business. We conduct our business in a professional and responsible way, abiding by the laws in all the countries we operate in, often going above & beyond our legal obligations.
