Jacek Olczak, CEO of Philip Morris International  (PMI), calls on the government to set a point in time to ban cigarettes.

 

Olczak believes that cigarette reform, similar to that of the internal combustion engine, needs to establish a time frame to give consumers and the industry enough time to respond and change. He told the Daily Mail, "Looking at what the UK is doing in the car industry, saying that as of a certain year you are not allowed to produce petrol cars, we could have this with tobacco too."
