Bätzing hand in hand with Philip Morris?

Handshaking between Bätzing and Philip Morris?

Commit the Drug Commissioner of the Federal Government, Sabine Baetzing (SPD), has recently called the minimum number of cigarettes per carton of 20 pieces ( News reported smoking ). The same also calls for the multi-cigarettes Philip Morris .

The Finance Ministry has now rejected this proposal. It is therefore - at least momentarily - be no minimum size for cigarette packs by law.

Larger boxes that benefit only the multinational cigarette is indeed no secret. The question is, why Sabine Baetzing represents the interests of a multinational cigarette company? Does the website of Philip Morris International published statement, "We work together with governments and healthcare institutions in order to jointly create strict and effective regulatory environment for tobacco" is already borne fruit?

The requirement of a minimum size of cigarette packs of Philip Morris and Sabine Baetzing is not the only community of multinational cigarette Konzernes with the Drug Commissioner of the Federal Government. When it comes to advertising bans march for cigarettes, and Philip Morris Bätzing hand in hand.

On his website, Philip Morris writes: "We support restrictions on the marketing of cigarettes, including complete bans on certain types of advertising such as television, radio and on billboards."

The demand for a ban on advertising for its own product may sound illogical, but if one is concerned with the subject "Advertising" absolutely clear that an advertising ban on cigarettes uses only one thing: The industry giants. Are there no more ads for a particular product, the status quo is maintained. This means that competitors from the industry leader have much harder to publicize its own products and sell.

The winner is at the stated requirements of the multi cigarettes Philip Morris, assisted by the Drug Commissioner of the Federal Government, Sabine Baetzing.
