Description
While everyone is thinking about the COVID-19 pandemic, writer, filmmaker John Safran is checking up on the world’s largest cigarette company, Philip Morris.
In September 2018, on the same day as World No-Tobacco Day, Philip Morris announced it wants to “unsmoke” the world.
In his latest book, Puff Piece – How Philip Morris Set Vaping Alight (and burned down the English language), John Safran investigates how the tobacco company bend and shape-shift language to convince the world they’re helping people give up smoking through genius marketing.
