  • The policy implementation playbook

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Karen Evans-Reeves et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2026

    BACKGROUND: Tobacco industry interference during policy development is well documented, yet evidence on how the industry responds after policies are adopted and enter into force remains fragmented across policy domains and jurisdictions. This study systematically examines post-adoption tobacco industry conduct across key tobacco control measures and develops a cross-policy taxonomy of post-adoption tactics. We conducted as scoping review and qual…

  • Reducing the exceptional affordability of hand-rolling tobacco using tax escalators

    Open AccessR Chen, Ryan Kai Le Chen et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2026

    Sustained duty increases on the least expensive tobacco products could deliver substantial public health gains and reduce health inequalities. Such measures should coincide with strong enforcement against illicit tobacco and comprehensive smoking cessation support

  • Developing and evaluating an educational intervention on conflicts of interest and corporate influence on science

    Open AccessAlice Fabbri, Iona Fitzpatrick et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Financial conflicts of interest resulting from corporate funding of research can bias the evidence base. We designed an educational intervention that sought to enable participants to make informed decisions and mitigate risk when considering corporate funding for research. We used pre/post-test surveys, which comprised a mix of closed and open-ended questions, to evaluate the training and its impact on knowledge (Wilcoxon signed-rank test), attit…

  • Constructing and contesting industry’s role in multistakeholder governance

    Open AccessAmber Van Den Akker, Xinmei Sun et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Multistakeholderism as a norm stating that global public issues should be addressed by all those who affect or are affected by this issue, has become increasingly institutionalised in global governance, including the United Nations (UN) system. Despite an increasing body of evidence showing the risks of corporate capture of multistakeholder governance (MSG) and its related inability to deliver effective public health outcomes, this ap…

  • The UK Tobacco and Vapes Bill (2023/4)

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Tess Legg et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2025

    When faced with tobacco endgame and nicotine control policies in the UK, tobacco and nicotine industries pushed back using framing strategies common to health-harming industries. Despite contradicting their 'transformation' narratives, TTCs still sought to position themselves as public health actors deserving policy access. Advocates, researchers and policymakers can anticipate opposition to endgame policies-such as a generational sales ban-and N…

  • Industry influence on public health policy formulation in the UK

    Open AccessAmber Van Den Akker, Alice Fabbri et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Unhealthy commodity industries (UCIs) such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, ultra-processed food and beverage producers are known to influence policy-making to advance their interests, often to the detriment of public health goals. This study mapped the complex system underpinning UCI’s influence on public health policy formulation in the UK and identified potential interventions to shift the system towards being able to better attain public health…

  • Aligning rhetoric with reality

    Open AccessAmber Van Den Akker, Anne Gilmore et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Global food system governance increasingly relies on multistakeholder initiatives (MSIs) that aim to include those who are affected by and/or affected by an issue. Multistakeholderism’s perceived legitimacy is premised on both its outcomes (output legitimacy) and processes (input legitimacy), the latter in turn based on four key rationales: inclusiveness, procedural fairness, consensual orientation and transparency. To date, evidence on the ineff…

  • Analysis of Philip Morris International’s ‘aspirational’ target for its 2025 cigarette shipments

    Open AccessJohn Mehegan, Allen W A Gallagher et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2024

    PMI's 2025 target was not 'aspirational' but highly conservative-it would have been met based on pre-existing trends in declining cigarette shipments. Yet PMI will nonetheless fail to meet that target providing evidence it is not transforming. Stalling of the decline of PMI and global cigarette sales raises significant concerns about progress in global tobacco control

  • Commercial determinants of health

    Open AccessSharon Friel, Jeff Collins et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2023

  • Defining and conceptualising the commercial determinants of health

    Open AccessAnne Gilmore, Alice Fabbri et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2023

  • “They try to suppress us, but we should be louder”

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Raouf Alebshehy et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Tobacco control advocates and researchers face powerful opponents who go to great lengths to protect their interests. While threats and attacks are documented in the grey literature, research into intimidation remains scarce. Building on previous exploratory research, this study seeks to offer in-depth insights into experiences of intimidation in the global tobacco control community. METHODS: Using qualitative description, we conducte…

  • Advocacy counterstrategies to tobacco industry interference in policymaking

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Praveen Kumar et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2023

  • Seeking to be seen as legitimate members of the scientific community? An analysis of British American Tobacco and Philip Morris International’s involvement in scientific events

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Alice Fabbri et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    BAT and PMI representatives attended a large number and wide range of scientific events. Given that scientific events could be a crucial platform for building connections in the scientific sphere and disseminating industry's messages, this work highlights the importance of denormalising the tobacco industry's involvement in scientific events

  • Tobacco industry interference to undermine the development and implementation of graphic health warnings in Bangladesh

    Open AccessMd Hasan Shahriar, Md Mehedi Hasan et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    The strategies cigarette companies used closely resemble key techniques from the well-evidenced tobacco industry playbook. The study underlines the importance of continuing monitoring and investigations into industry conduct and suspicious actors. Prioritising the implementation of WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Article 5.3 is crucial for advancing tobacco control, particularly in places like Bangladesh, where close government-indust…

  • How has the tobacco industry passed tax changes through to consumers in 12 sub-Saharan African countries

    Open AccessZaineb Danish Sheikh, J Robert Branston et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    This paper provides an overview of TI pricing strategies in response to tax increases in SSA. Governments must monitor how the TI responds to tax changes to ensure that tax increases are effective in impacting price

  • Document analysis of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World’s scientific outputs and activities

    Open AccessTess Legg, Bryan C Clift et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    Our paper identifies FSFW as a new vehicle for agnogenesis, indicating that, over 70 years since the tobacco industry began to manipulate science, efforts to protect science from its interference remain inadequate. This, combined with growing evidence that other industries are engaging in similar practices, illustrates the urgent need to develop more robust systems to protect scientific integrity

  • Identifying misleading corporate narratives

    Open AccessIona Fitzpatrick, Adam Bertscher et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Narratives are key to the way corporations represent themselves to the outside world, are important to the development of shared understandings and ultimately determine whether and how corporations are able to influence societal norms and participate in policy debates. A leaked corporate affairs strategy document, from the world’s largest transnational tobacco company, Philip Morris International (PMI), suggests a company concerned about credibil…

  • Corporate communication of the relative health risks of Iqos through a webchat service

    Open AccessSophie Braznell, J Robert Branston et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    A variety of claims and information on the relative safety of IQOS were used in webchat communications. Response variation highlights that clearer regulation is needed to appropriately control corporate communications via live webchat services

  • Tobacco industry pricing strategies for single cigarettes and multistick packs after excise tax increases in Colombia

    Open AccessZaineb Danish Sheikh, J Robert Branston et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    The pricing strategies identified suggest excise taxes can be increased further, particularly the specific component, to reduce the price gap between brand segments. Brands should be restricted to a single variant along with prohibitions on launching new brands/brand variants. Lastly, since the pricing of single sticks does not match the pattern of packs, more monitoring of their sales and distribution is required, especially since they promote c…

  • Quantifying and characterising tobacco content in the most in-demand streamed series in 10 low/middle-income countries in 2019

    Open AccessIona Fitzpatrick, Danielle Byrne et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    The continued prevalence of positively characterised tobacco content in youth-focused streamed content that is in high demand in LMICs poses a risk as a driver of smoking uptake in youth populations. There is an urgent need to better enforce tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship legislation in LMICs, and to update WHO FCTC guidance in line with rapidly evolving media platforms and content that is available internationally

  • Understanding the long-term policy influence strategies of the tobacco industry

    Thomas R Hird, Allen W A Gallagher et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    Objective This paper explores transnational tobacco companies’ (TTCs) long-term policy influence strategies using two case studies, harm reduction and illicit tobacco, to identify lessons for the tobacco control movement and wider efforts to address the commercial determinants of health. Methods Evidence from a broad combination of sources including leaked documents and findings from over two decades of TTC monitoring were reviewed for each case …

  • To be honest, I’m really scared’

    Open AccessBritta Matthes, Mateusz Zatoński et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2022

    This exploratory study suggests that intimidation is a crucial challenge for the tobacco control community. There are several measures the global tobacco control community could take, including establishing an international support mechanism and building capacity to deal with intimidation and draw attention to it

  • Commercial use of evidence in public health policy

    Open AccessKathrin Lauber, Darragh Mcgee et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Background Ultra-processed food industry (UPFI) actors have consistently opposed statutory regulation in health policy debates, including at the WHO. They do so most commonly with claims that regulatory policies do not work, will have negative consequences or that alternatives such as self-regulation work well or better. Underlying this are often assertions that industry is aligned with principles of evidence-based policymaking. In this study, we…

  • Big food and the World Health Organization

    Open AccessKathrin Lauber, Harry Rutter et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: There is an urgent need for effective action to address the over 10 million annual deaths attributable to unhealthy diets. Food industry interference with policies aimed at reducing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is widely documented at the national level but remains under-researched at the global level. Thus, this study explores how ultra-processed food industry actors have attempted to influence NCD policy at WHO. METHODS: A com…

  • The case for developing a cohesive systems approach to research across unhealthy commodity industries

    Open AccessCécile Knai, Mark Petticrew et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    OBJECTIVES: Most non-communicable diseases are preventable and largely driven by the consumption of harmful products, such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling and ultra-processed food and drink products, collectively termed unhealthy commodities. This paper explores the links between unhealthy commodity industries (UCIs), analyses the extent of alignment across their corporate political strategies, and proposes a cohesive systems approach to research a…
