ASH Scotland Learning Event – Tobacco Industry Levy with Dr Rob Branston

Presentation with Dr Rob Branston (Associate Professor in Business Economics and Co-Director of the Tobacco Control Research Group at the University of Bath) on the principles of a ‘polluter pays’ levy on the tobacco industry gave us food for thought and prompted a lively discussion.

ASH Scotland advocates for such a levy to be introduced in Scotland under devolved health powers, or at UK level, to hold Big Tobacco financially accountable for the damage caused by their addictive health harming products, and we’d appreciate your support for our campaigning on this issue, going forward.

We are delighted to let you know that a video of Dr Branston’s presentation is now available to view on ASH’s YouTube channel.
