Johannesburg - British American Tobacco SA has launched another attack on the constitutionality of the ban on cigarettes by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma.
In papers filed at the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday, BATSA and nine other applicants state the ban on “tobacco, tobacco products, e-cigarettes and related products” infringes on the right of tobacco farmers, processors and tobacconists to freedom of trade and occupation or profession. “In this application, the court is asked to decide whether regulation 45 is an unconstitutional infringement of the following rights in the Constitution – the rights of consumers of tobacco and vaping products to dignity, privacy and bodily and psychological integrity under sections 10 , 12 and 14 of the Constitution,” read BATSA’s application.

She is going to flip flop around this as much as she can just to proof a point and hopefully some judge will see right through her and order her to lift the ban.
