Tobacco firms warn smokers, health risks info on their websites

PETALING JAYA: Tobacco companies have apparently joined the crusade to warn smokers of the dangers of smoking.
The top two tobacco firms – British American Tobacco (BAT) and Phillip Morris International (PMI), have placed information on their websites, warning people of the health risks involved in smoking.
Last month, Phillip Morris also placed information leaflets (in three languages) on their cigarette packs in Malaysia, an initiative first implemented in July, which coincides with the ongoing Tak Nak campaign.
