  • A film about the world of smoke and ecological deserts; about the cultivation of tobacco and its disastrous effects on Africa’s farmers and youth. Smoking has become less of a threat to the health of the developed world. Although consumer habits and cultivation have drastically changed in the northern hemisphere, the smoking industry now endangers the health of the rest of the world. A caravan of smoking cowboys and friendly camels invade Asian and African countries, carrying promises of a consumers’ paradise overseas. The souls of indigenous women and teenagers are conquered throughout the Third World , while the strategies of the tobacco industry choke local economies, leading them straight into misery. Smoking causes serious health problems, not only to each individual, but also to the planet itself: Smoking creates deserts. The expanding cultivation of tobacco requires razing of entire forests, both for new farmland and as source of fuel for drying tobacco leaves. The habit of smoking is causing ecological change of global dimensions.

    These big corporations promise money and prosperity, and all the people of the country gets is minimal wages, disease and destroyed forests! This is NOT how the World gets developed! 😱😥😡

    Maybe the sales tax from Africa grown crops needs to go towards paying the growers a liveable wage

    Maybe corporations are the problem if you do all the work you should get all the money. You ever considered making your own brand and export based on supply and demand? If you got the only pack of cigarettes in the qorld somone will fucking fly there and paying you 1 million dollars for one cigar

      Because they were lured into planting tobacco instead. Lured by the big tobacco companies, who now want cheap labor and new markets.
