Welcome to Deadly Industry: Challenging Big Tobacco, the podcast where we explore the tactics used by the tobacco industry as it pursues profit over health.

For our first episode, our host Louis is joined by Professor Anna Gilmore to break down the tactics used by the tobacco industry. Louis and Anna talk through the definition of tobacco industry, the societal issues and health harms it causes, how the industry influences public health policy and how these tactics are replicated by other harmful industries.

A clinician by background, Professor Anna Gilmore trained in public health in the UK, is currently Professor of Public Health, Founding Director of the Tobacco Control Research Group and Co-Director and founder of the Centre for 21st Century Public Health at the University of Bath. Her work focuses on the commercial determinants of health, evaluates the impacts of public policies on health and has led to substantial policy impacts from local to global level. Anna has over 350 publications including over 200 peer reviewed articles and is a member of various international and national expert groups.
