      but those codes arent always enforced in low & middle income countries. the baby milk issue is still a HUGE problem in Vietnam, for example

      i think we should just increase taxation on companies that harm public health.

      Tax is sovereign. Sin taxes are national policy. we can’t impose tobacco tax from afar.

      i didn't say imposing tax policies over there. BAT is registered here, no?

      CIT is blunt instrument. Cant load w objectives. Countries want to impose own tobacco taxes - better to strengthen their hand to legislate?

      It seems asymmetric to be optimistic we can reform tax governance over there, yet pessimistic we can improve it here.

      I’m not sure residence based tobacco tax wld be improvement. We set own laws & taxes on tobacco sales - why not other countries?

      These points seem uncontroversial: - Smoking harms public health - BAT want to sell 🚬, & may bribe govs - BAT is registered here.

      Your suggestion seems to be, 'Yes, BAT is s*****y but let them deal with it, if they want to'. Framing that as empowering them.

      No. (1) bribery shld be tackled under bribery act/ FCPA not tax system (2) the companies are taking govs to court - not just ‘lobbying’

          sure. but none of that undermines the case for taxing BAT here.

          Tobacco tax is a highly effective policy. Not sure the case for alternative ‘tax them here’ approach through some CIT mechanism

          So the ‘it’ that needs tackling is legal compatability of tobacco regs w treaties, laws. Don’t know enough about FCTC …

          … but wonder why/if there isn’t clear set of measures that would be robust to legal challenge.
