André Calantzopoulos: "What adult smokers need to know"
Andre Calantzopoulos, former CEO of Philip Morris International, speaks to camera.
There are now scientifically validated better alternatives to continued smoking,
and it is vital that adults who smoke are given access to
and accurate information about them.
I believe that with the right regulatory encouragement
and support from civil society,
cigarette sales can end within
10 to 15 years in many countries.
Unfortunately, political agendas and ideology
are slowing progress and
keeping millions of people uninformed.
*André Calantzopouplos was speaking in his role as CEO at the time. On May 5, 2021, Jacek Olczak succeeded Mr. Calantzopoulos as CEO, and Mr. Calantzopoulos became Executive Chairman of the Board.
