A Study On Awareness And Impact Of Tobacco Consumption With Special Reference To Salem Corporation

Tobacco and tobacco products are more regulated today. Companies have lost countless lawsuits and are now forced to clearly label their products as having a detrimental effect on the health of a person. Also, tobacco advertising is severely limited and regulated. Still, tobacco companies make billions of dollars in revenue every year, destroying the health of others. It�s estimated that there are around 1 billion tobacco users.
