In
Malawi, Nigeria and Mauritius - countries where the number of
smoking-related deaths is expected to double in the next 20 years - we
report on smoking and the sale of cigarettes.
This
is an emotional journey for Bannatyne, who is himself an ex-smoker.
Along the way he meets children as young as 11 who are not only smoking
10 cigarettes a day, but also trying to make a living selling them.
The
programme also uncovers evidence of extraordinary marketing tactics
used by a British-based cigarette company and investigates claims that
it is encouraging young people to smoke.
This World then heads back to London to confront the company.
