Abstract

This Chapter examines the tobacco industry in Southern Rhodesia and Zimbabwe within the context of global tobacco control regime, public health debates and the changing production factors between 1953 and 2000s. It discusses the role of the state and the tobacco lobby in entrenching the interests of the tobacco industry against the global pressures to reduce tobacco demand and supply and how this has shaped the country’s articulation of tobacco control measures and policies. The chapter further explores transitions in tobacco farming landscapes in post-land reform Zimbabwe and the implications for livelihoods, natural resources, social institutions and agrarian development.
