#17 John Safran on exposing Big Tobacco smoke and mirrors

View descriptionShare

While everyone is thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic, writer, filmmaker John Safran is checking up on the world's largest cigarette company, Philip Morris. 

In September 2018, on the same day as World No-Tobacco Day, Philip Morris announced it wants to “unsmoke” the world.
