Polito India is home to 12% of the world's smokers (120 million), nearly one million annual smoking related deaths, and arguably the world's most brazen tobacco company, ITC Limited. ITC Ltd was originally known as Imperial Tobacco Company and then India Tobacco Company. But name changes cannot hide the fact that 82 percent of 2012-13 ITC profits came Question: How many millions of lives did ITC from cigarette sales. Nor can it hide corporate greed kill during 100 "inspiring" years? Why is it permitted inside India's schools? Click British American Tobacco's 30% image for higher resolution. ownership of ITC. ITC's website boasts, "ITC is the market leader in cigarettes in India. With its wide range of invaluable brands, ITC has a leadership position in every segment of the market. ITC's highly popular portfolio of brands includes Insignia, India Kings, Lucky Strike, Classic, Gold Flake, Navy Cut, Players, Scissors, Capstan, Berkeley, Bristol, Flake, Silk Cut, Duke & Royal." "Invaluable" brands? "Highly popular"? What ITC website visitors are not told is that smoking nicotine is highly addictive, that 80-90 percent of all lung cancers are attributable to smoking, or that 40-50 percent of ITC's nicotine addicts smoke themselves to death, with up to one-quarter dying during middle-age.

    38 2000 Tobacco Industry Projects—a Listing (173 pp.) Project “A”: American Tobacco Co. plan from 1959 to enlist Professors Hirsch and Shapiro of NYU’s Institute of Mathematical Science to evaluate “statistical material purporting to show association between smoking and lung cancer.” Hirsch and Shapiro concluded that “such analysis is not feasible because the studies did not employ the methods of mathematical science but represent merely a collection of random data, or counting noses as it were.” Statistical studies of the lung cancer- smoking relation were “utterly meaningless from the mathematical point of view” and that it was “impossible to proceed with a mathematical analysis of the proposition that cigarette smoking is a cause of lung cancer.” AT management concluded that this result was “not surprising” given the “utter paucity of any direct evidence linking smoking with lung canner.”112 Project A: Tobacco Institute plan from 1967 to air three television spots on smoking & health. Continued goal of the Institute to test its ability “to alter public opinion and knowledge of the asserted health hazards of cigarette smoking by using paid print media space.” CEOs in the fall of 1967 had approved the plan, which was supposed to involve “before-and-after opinion surveys on elements of the smoking and health controversy” to measure the impact of TI propaganda on this issue.”113 Spots were apparently refused by the networks in 1970, so plan shifted to Project B.

  • India the Tax Treatment of Bidis
    P r o f e s s o r S i r J o h n C r o f t o n Dear Colleague: Tobacco is the world’s leading single agent of death, and India is the world’s second- largest consumer of tobacco. In India, bidis account for the great majority of smoked tobacco, and they are no less harmful than cigarettes. Having worked at intervals in India and with many Indian colleagues for more than 50 years, I remain deeply concerned about the current and growing epidemic of illness and death from tobacco, including from bidis. The attached report from Emil Sunley, one of the world’s leading experts on tobacco taxation, shows not only that taxes on bidis should increase, but also lays out a rational, detailed plan for how to do so. Sunley’s conclusions are clear: • On a per-stick basis, bidis are at least as harmful as cigarettes, but the excise on bidis is only 8% that of the most similar type of cigarettes, and less than 1% that of standard cigarettes. • Excise duty accounts for only 9% of the retail price of bidis; the recommended international benchmark for taxation from a health point of view is 70% or higher. • Between half and three quarters of all bidis are completely untaxed, either because of exemptions or tax evasion. Sunley’s recommendations are equally clear. To rationalize taxation and protect health, policymakers should: • In the immediate term, increase the excise rate on bidis from Rs 14 to at least Rs 168 per 1,000 sticks – resulting in a tax rate identical to that of the most similar type of cigarette.
