The tobacco companies seemed to care quite a bit in Australia, judging by the legal bullshit they tried here when the government made their packaging unappealing.
The tobacco companies lost, thankfully. :)
- Broken_Hippo 3y agoIt wasn't just Australia: They've basically fought warning and package legislation wherever it has been introduced.

The Philippines lost in trade tribunals - apparently the commercial interests of these companies are easily found to trump public health.
