British American Tobacco (BAT) is planning to cut 9,000 jobs worldwide due to declining cigarette demand. The company, which employs over 47,000 people, plans to lay off 5,500 employees and outsource 3,500 positions. BAT aims to shift its focus and investment toward alternative products like vapes and nicotine pouches. It has already closed its factory in South Africa and is considering similar moves in other regions, including outsourcing roles in countries like the UK, Singapore, and Malaysia. https://sambad.in/india-and-beyond/british-american-tobacco-plans-9000-job-cuts-amid-declining-cigarette-demand-12116894 #creator program
