Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) and Te Reo Marama are calling for the immediate withdrawal of tobacco company, British American Tobacco (BAT) as a finalist for the JRA Best Workplaces Awards....“One out of two BAT customers dies from smoking. Working for them is being a merchant of death, and trying to polish that with awards for being a great workplace is a pathetic attempt to mask this reality from their employees,” said Mr Youdan.
I have a question Mr Youdan, 7 out of 10 establishments forced to conform to behavioral control legislation (smoking bans) your group is paid to lobby; lose significant customers and eventually layoff employees. What happens to the health of those unemployed hospitality workers and our economy?
