As an artist/advocate, could she do more to promote tobacco control policies in Africa? Has she been asked to?
From the interview:
"And she mistrusts big business. The tobacco multinationals have made themselves her enemy by targeting her continent. “I cancelled a whole tour in Africa because the promoter didn’t tell me that it was sponsored by Philip Morris. I found out one week before I left Paris, and I said, I’m not coming. There’s never going to be tobacco or alcohol advertising on my stage.”
