The company said it would increase its research and development and promotion of smoke-free products to help smokers switch to less harmful alternatives, thereby reducing the incidence of smoking-related diseases.
However, this position of British American Tobacco has also sparked controversy. Some legislators and public health experts question whether smoke-free products can really effectively reduce smoking rates, or whether they are just a strategy adopted by tobacco companies to maintain market share.
