Group seeks probe of ‘smoking' parties

The Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN) yesterday, 14 August 2008, urged the federal government to investigate on-going ‘Experience Freshness' secret parties being organised by the British American Tobacco Nigeria to promote its Pall Mall cigarette brand.

It said the parties were being used to induce under-age persons into smoking.

ERA/FoEN, in a statement issued in Lagos, alleged that BAT has staged the "smoking" parties secretly in Sokoto, Kano, Ilorin, Ibadan while the most recent was held at Gateway Hotel, Kuto, Abeokuta on Wednesday, 13 August alleging that the tobacco company has concluded plans to stage the next party in Akure, Ondo state.
