In this extract from a BAT document written by [[Shabanji Opukah]], BAT’s corporate social responsibility manager, it is clear that ITGA is being used to avoid regulation on the industry with specific reference to the World Health Organisation’s Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI). There is also declaration of the intent to undermine a study by the World Bank which argued that ‘the negative effects of tobacco control on employment have been greatly overstated’ &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Action on Smoking and Health (ASH),Christian Aid and Friends of the Earth (2005) &amp;quot;[http://www.ash.org.uk/html/press/050428.html BAT in its Own Words]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a claim that ITGA is used to deny.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

This can be seen in a BAT company memo which emphasises the: ‘need to remember that this is an ITGA/ farmers initiative and they should be doing the writing to governments’ referring to the tactic of using ITGA to encourage farmers to lobby governments on the importance of tobacco growing to the economy. BAT uses this method of using third world tobacco growers as a front because they are seen to have the ‘moral high ground’ &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Action on Smoking and Health (ASH),Christian Aid and Friends of the Earth (2005) &amp;quot;[http://www.ash.org.uk/html/press/050428.html BAT in its Own Words&lt;/ins&gt;]&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and more credibility than industry insiders.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
