PMI is the multinational tobacco company behind brands such as Marlboro, Benson & Hedges and the e-cigarette product called IQOS.
ATHRA's contrarian stance has put it in the frontlines of a long-running campaign to oppose the federal government's tough stance on e-cigarette regulation. BCW confirmed to the ABC that it had a contract with the Australian Retailers Association dating back to August 2019 and that in early 2020 "the ARA requested BCW to provide a separate contract that involved a payment from PMI to the ARA".that the ARA had signed a six-month deal valued at $250,000 on February 1 last year, with an option that it be extended for a further six months in August.
So why did someone from one of the world's largest PR agencies have access to the ATHRA website, allowing them to post content for at least nine months — at a time BCW was already working on a campaign to roll back the Health Minister's policy goals?When the ABC contacted Mr Surtida, he did not deny that it was his username. But he would not explain how he came to have admin access to the ATHRA website.
"Why does Red Surtida have an account login for ATHRA's website? Clearly, permission would need to have been given by ATHRA."The charity's website carries a disclaimer that says: "We do not accept donations from tobacco companies or their subsidiaries or from the vape industry… Two vaping businesses provided funding for the initial legal and website costs of establishing ATHRA.

Metadata reveals Australian Broadcasting Corporation received assistance from Philip morris in April Fools level flat-earth grade nonsense news article. Also revealed are ABCNews links to sex abuse & terrorism.
So is the ABC been paid for this hit piece of lies or just lazy journalism? You should be apologising in writing to ATHRA_AU if you value your credibility.
'who believe that, compared with cigarette smoking, vaping is the lesser of two evils.' This is correct, It's proven safer. Why Hunt and 'most of Australia's leading health and scientific authorities' are 'diametrically opposed' to that view is the suspect thing in this story.
Big tobacco again. Perhaps a deeper investigation into where this 'charity'(?) received its funding from.
