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.

In the penultimate episode of series 1, Dr. Rosemary Hiscock explains about how the tobacco industry contributes to climate change. We cover how tobacco production uses up precious natural resources and harms farmers, what happens to the waste from tobacco products and e-cigarettes and tobacco company greenwashing.

Dr. Rosemary Hiscock is a Research Associate in the Tobacco Control Research Group at the University of Bath. Rosemary’s current work includes investigating tobacco industry supply chains encompassing study of struggling farmers in low and middle income countries and study of transnational companies.
