Between May 1st 2008 and June 1st of the same year, the federal capital territory authority embarked on what some termed an energetic mass oriented campaign, aimed at educating the residents on the ills of smoking and its attendant effects on the society. It was to serve as a precursor to the eventual ban on smoking in public places, a move which expectedly heralded its own unique brand of controversy. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
While many Abuja residents welcomed the move as timely, not a few others viewed it as a direct attack on their rights and privileges as residents of the capital city. To show the seriousness of the development in the sight of the powers that be in Abuja, a high powered committee was set up by the incumbent minister, to muster the necessary political will to give the much needed bite to the campaign against smoking in public.
The panel was made up of eminent officials such as the Director-General, Satellite Towns Development Agency,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Engineer Abdullahi Buhari Dikko, the Secretary, Health and Human Services Secretariat, Dr. Abubakar Ali-Gombe, the Secretary of Education, Alhaji Hussaini Halilu Pai, FCT Solicitor?CGeneral, Mrs. Helen Oloja, Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Communications, Mr. Diran Onifade, Director of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board, Engineer Kenneth Okafor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Regional Editor of Daily Sun,marlboro red cigarettes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Mr. Eric Osagie and a representative of Coalition for Anti-Tobacco.
It was chaired by the erstwhile Secretary of FCT Social Development Secretariat, Mrs. Felicita Banehita-Olajide. In sharp contrast, it has been established in numerous court proceedings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where the cigarette makers have been found liable for billions of dollars, that their harmful activities went far beyond mere negligence,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and instead involved fraud, deceit, racketeering activities, and other intentional wrongs. Indeed, it has been shown that they knowingly and deliberately caused death and disability by using chemicals to alter the pH of the smoke (to increase its addictiveness) and to keep cigarettes burning far longer (the direct cause of most cigarette fires and fire deaths), that they willingly sought to addict pre-teens and other young children, etc. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Even if everything BP and its CEO Tony Hayward have been accused of doing turns out to be true, their culpability pales in comparison that of the tobacco industry, argues Banzhaf, suggesting that a fair comparison would be between a person whose dog poops on private property and Bernard Madoff. The irony of the dramatic tobacco executive hearings was that the only major result was a law more than a decade later which even its strongest proponents admit is weak, riddled with loopholes,cheap marlboro gold cigarettes supplier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and apparently yet to save a single life or prevent a single addiction. Let's hope that today's hearings into the oil industry are somewhat more productive and successful,says Banzhaf.
