Movie: A Billion Lives (2016)
Film Synopsis:
In 20 years, there will be almost 1.6 billion smokers worldwide. About 70% of smokers want to quit. The United Nations World Health Organization expects one billion people will die prematurely from smoking this century. The products their doctors recommend are rarely effective and many get stuck. New vapor technology was created to give smokers a successful way to quit. But it was quickly demonized, and even banned in many countries. A perfect storm is brewing between smokers trying to quit, government regulators, and health charities funded by the powerful pharmaceutical industry. Director Aaron Biebert travels across four continents interviewing doctors, scientists and others working to save a billion lives. What he found was profound government failure, widespread corruption in the public health community and powerful subversion by big business. Uploaded by: Freeman May 21, 2021 at 12:26 am
