Controversy Surrounding Pharmaceutical Company's Payments to Pharmacists
Recently, the practice of paying kickbacks to pharmacists who ordered VEEV electronic cigarettes by FirMo International has sparked strong opposition and has been forced to stop.
In Australia, approved patients are allowed to use nicotine e-cigarettes. Pharma international pays kickbacks to pharmacists who order VEEV e-cigarettes. Pharmacists receive $5 AUD (approximately ￥23.16) every time they prescribe VEEV to a patient, and will receive $10 AUD (approximately ￥46.33) for introducing a new patient to the device. They will also receive $5 AUD for referring a patient to a doctor to obtain a VEEV prescription.
Australian health experts have expressed shock at the actions of Philip Morris International. The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia has condemned the multinational tobacco company's practice of offering kickbacks to pharmacists, calling it a blatant disregard of their professional ethics.
