Our recommendation is that the content be reviewed and, if found to be in breach, taken down. We would also recommend that the BBC exercises caution in future when deciding whether to engage with the tobacco industry and its representatives.

We believe that by giving a powerful platform to a tobacco company, this content breached the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines on impartiality and related standards.
