Highlights
Illicit trade
Illicit trade blows big holes in governments' budgets and incurs great losses to the legitimate tobacco companies. We fully support regulators, governments and international organisations in seeking to eliminate all forms of illicit tobacco trade.
Public place smoking
We support restrictions on smoking in indoor public places. We believe that governments, employers, the hospitality industry, the tobacco industry, consumers and others can work together on practical initiatives.
Youth smoking prevention
We believe that tobacco products are only suitable for adult consumers and do not want children to smoke. We run and support programmes across the region to tackle underage consumption.
This is the first tobacco company website dedicated to the Middle East area and is available to view in both Arabic and English languages.
This site is designed to provide more information about us, our business and beliefs on the key issues surrounding tobacco. Its purpose is not to promote smoking or our brands, but rather to explain more about how we operate in what is sometimes seen as a controversial industry.
