Tobacco companies spend billions of dollars on marketing to target and recruit young people as replacement smokers. They use tactics like product design, pricing, placement, and advertising to make tobacco appealing and accessible to youth. The tobacco industry's business depends on getting young people to use their products long-term in order to addict a new generation of smokers.
Journalists seem to be eager to report incidents of gross violence committed against children without any consideration of the kind of damage it could bring upon the child under consideration. The more explicit the story, the more newspapers are sold. Abused children are paraded in front of TV cameras thereby abusing their rights to privacy as well as part of propaganda campaigns for those fighting for power.

Strategic decisions move a company toward its stated goals and.docxsusanschei
Strategic decisions move a company toward its stated goals and
perceived success. Strategic decisions also reflect the firm’s social
responsibility and the ethical values on which such decisions are
made. They reflect what is considered important and what a com-
pany wants to achieve.
Mark Pastin, writing on the function of ethics in business deci-
sions, observes:
There are fundamental principles, or ground rules, by which
organizations act. Like the ground rules of individuals,
organizational ground rules determine which actions are
possible for the organization and what the actions mean.
Buried beneath the charts of organizational responsibility,
the arcane strategies, the crunched numbers, and the politi-
cal intrigue of every firm are sound rules by which the game
unfolds.
The following situations reflect different decisions made by multi-
national firms and governments and also reflect the social respon-
sibility and ethical values underpinning the decisions. Study the
following situations in the global cigarette marketplace carefully
and assess the ground rules that guided the decisions of firms and
governments.
EXPORTING U.S. CIGARETTE
CONSUMPTION
In the United States, 480,000 deaths, about one in five, are related to
smoking each year. About 250 billion cigarettes were sold in the U.S.
in 2017, but sales are shrinking rapidly. Unit sales have been drop-
ping about 1 to 2 percent a year, and sales have been down by almost
5 percent in the last 10 years. The U.S. Surgeon General’s campaign
against smoking, higher cigarette taxes, nonsmoking rules in public
areas, and the concern Americans have about general health have
led to the decline in tobacco consumption. Faced with various class-
action lawsuits, the success of states in winning lawsuits, and pend-
ing federal legislation, tobacco companies have stepped up their
international marketing activities to maintain profits.
Even though companies have agreed to sweeping restrictions in
the United States on cigarette marketing and secondhand smoke
and to bolder cancer-warning labels, they are fighting as hard as
ever in the Third World to convince the media, the public, and
policymakers that similar changes are not needed. In seminars at
luxury resorts worldwide, tobacco companies invite journalists, all
expenses paid, to participate in programs that play down the health
risks of smoking. It is hard to gauge the influence of such semi-
nars, but in the Philippines, a government plan to reduce smoking
by children was “neutralized” by a public relations campaign from
cigarette companies to remove “cancer awareness and prevention”
as a “key concern.” A slant in favor of the tobacco industry’s point
of view seemed to prevail.
At a time when most industrialized countries are discourag-
ing smoking, the tobacco industry is avidly courting consumers
throughout the developing world using catchy slogans, obvious
image campaigns, and single-cigarette sales t.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

devastating toll is no accident. It stems
directly from the tobacco industry’s deceitful
and even illegal practices.

4. Defendants have marketed and
sold their lethal products with
zeal, with deception,
with a single-minded focus on
their financial success, and
without regard for the human
tragedy or social costs that
success exacted..
U.S. District Court Judge
Gladys Kessler in 2006
verdict against

6. Defendants spent enormous
resources tracking the
behaviors and preferences of
youth under twenty-one…to
start young people smoking and
to keep them smoking.

7. for every person
who dies due to smoking – more
than 1,200 each day – at least two
youth or young adults become
regular smokers. Nearly 90% of
these “replacement smokers” try
their first cigarette by age 18.

8. Defendants’ marketing activities
are intended to bring new, young,
and hopefully long-lived smokers
into the market in order to replace
those who die (largely from
tobacco-caused illnesses) or
quit…Defendants used their
knowledge of young people to
create highly sophisticated and
appealing marketing campaigns
targeted to lure them into
starting smoking and later
becoming nicotine addicts.
The Verdict is In: Findings from

10. From the 1950s to the present,
different defendants, at different
times and using different methods,
have intentionally marketed to
young people under the age of
twenty-one in order to recruit
“replacement smokers” to ensure
the economic future of the
tobacco industry.
U.S. District Court Judge
Gladys Kessler Final opinion,
United States v. Philip Morris
“
”
11. Tobacco companies
use multiple methods
and spend lots of
money to convince
young people that
tobacco is okay –
even attractive. Their
business depends on
getting these young
consumers to try
and to keep using
their products.(3)
13. Defendants spent billions
of dollars every year on their
marketing activities in order to
encourage young people to try
and then continue purchasing
their products in order to
provide the replacement
smokers they need
to survive.

14. Tobacco companies
spend nearly
$9.6 billion per year
to market
their products.
Tobacco companies lower
prices through coupons
and other promotions so
that consumers can afford
to buy their products.
Teens are especially
sensitive to pricing.
Keeping
Prices Down

15. A number of laws limit face-to-face and vending
machine sales of tobacco products to young people.
But there is less oversight online. While most
websites say buyers must be at least 18 years old,
research found that 15- and 16-year olds were
able to place orders successfully.

19. Tobacco companies use many marketing and
advertising tools at stores to sell tobacco.
Advertising is often placed in highly visible spots
like in windows or checkout counters, which trigger
impulse buying. Ads inside the stores are often
placed at eye level for preteen children.
Retail Marketing

20. Tobacco use is prominent in movies, social media,
video games and glossy magazines. Tobacco
advertising both inside and outside retail stores is
often the largest, most visible advertising of any
products. These ads suggest that using tobacco
can make you sexy, popular, thin and cool.

convincing – and beyond any
reasonable doubt – that
Defendants have marketed to
young people twenty-one and
under while consistently,
publicly, and falsely, denying
they do so.

25. Policies are very important in preventing young people
from using tobacco because they can change the
environment so that choosing a tobacco-free life is
encouraged and supported. You can make a difference,
starting today by showing your support for policies:
What you can do
Make tobacco products less affordable by
increasing tobacco taxes.
Support existing tobacco-free and smoke-free
policies within your community and show your support
for new policies that protect kids from using tobacco,
which can include tobacco-free schools, daycares and
outdoor public places such as parks and recreation areas.
Restrict tobacco marketing.
