Philip Morris has warned that the increasing trade in illegal tobacco could eliminate legal cigarette sales in Australia by 2030. The company made this claim during a secret Senate hearing, citing threats from organized crime as a reason for keeping executive identities confidential. Critics, however, argue that the tobacco giant is more focused on its profits than on public health and safety.
