Revealed: how British American Tobacco exploited war zones to sell cigarettes
"The documents describe how cartons of cigarettes were distributed to traders hidden in black bags in Somalia after Al-Shabaab banned sales and threatened punishments under Sharia law between late 2008 and early 2009.
They also show that BAT made plans to launch in South Sudan just two days before it gained independence from the north after years of destruction from a civil war that left 4 million people displaced.
And they tell of a town in eastern DRC that is not on any map, created by BAT to produce and process tobacco leaf, where, according to a whistleblower, millions of dollars were delivered to pay farmers and staff, carried in secretly.

Lol. Sometimes, you don't even need to not have a government. How much pressure do you think the tobacco companies are putting on the governments of most banned ecig countries? Via corrupted politicians, or just ministers that are on the board of directors.Selling cigarettes in a civil war: ‘If you have no government, you have nobody annoying you about health warnings and nicotine content.’
