The @WHO just sent a strong message that it will not abide the tobacco industry using one pandemic to deepen another.
@MedicagoInc would do well to expedite any discussions around PMI selling-off its share.

Industrially produced trans fat is generally found in fast food, bakery items, processed foods, and in foods prepared in hotels and restaurants. Intake of trans fat-laden food is a major cause of blocks in the arteries of the heart.

Eminent Parliamentarian Mr. Saber Hossain Chowdhury MP tweet about Bangladesh ranking in Global Tobacco Industry Interference Index 2019.
@TheGGTC
Not a ranking to be proud of. #Bangladesh Government should divest all it’s share in tobacco industry that kills at least 126,000 of its citizens annually, cripples hundred of thousands more. Absolutely no excuse not to. #WorldNoTobaccoDay #WNTD2020
