Industry Influence, Ranked

Does Big Tobacco have sway in your country?

Japan, Jordan, Egypt and Bangladesh were most susceptible to their tactics.
But 3 very different countries scored top marks for resisting influence: the UK, Uganda and Iran. “They prove that any country can have good measures to prevent tobacco companies from having undue influence on health.”
