Heute würde ich gerne von Euch wissen, ob Ihr in Unternehmen aus der Tabakbranche investiert oder ob es für Euch moralisch nicht vertretbar ist ? 🤷🏽♂️ Ich selber habe aktuell Altria und British American Tobacco (BAT) im Depot und demnächst wird noch Japan Tobacco folgen 🚬🔥 Ich investiere gerne in Tabakkonzerne, da sie eine sehr hohe Dividendenausschüttung und ein gutes Dividendenwachstum p.a. haben 😍💸 Ich glaube auch, dass es die nächsten Jahre weiter konstnat nach oben geht 🚀 Klar wird in den westlichen Ländern immer weniger geraucht, dafür hat Rauchen in den asiatischen Länder aber jährlich eine immer höhere Beliebtheit ✅ Ich finde es moralisch vertretbar in Tabakunternehmen zu investieren 👌🏽 Zum einen bin ich selber Raucher und zum anderen kann sich jeder Mensch aussuchen, ob er raucht und sein Leben riskiert oder es sein lässt 😊✌🏽 Wie ist Deine Meinung zu Tabakunternehmen ? 🚬🤷🏽♂️

Today I would like to know from you if you invest in companies from the tobacco industry or if it is morally indefensible for you ? 🤷🏽‍♂️

I myself currently have Altria and British American Tobacco (BAT) in my portfolio and soon Japan Tobacco will follow 🚬🔥

I like to invest in tobacco companies because they have a very high dividend payout and a good dividend growth p.a. 😍💸

I also believe that it will continue to go up consistently over the next few years 🚀

Of course, people in Western countries are smoking less and less, but smoking is becoming more and more popular in Asian countries every year ✅

I think it is morally justifiable to invest in tobacco companies 👌🏽

On the one hand, I am a smoker myself, and on the other hand, every person can choose whether to smoke and risk their life or not 😊✌🏽

What is your opinion about tobacco companies ? 🚬🤷🏽‍♂️

Altria 🙋🏼‍♂️ think it's ok. Most smokers like to smoke. Sure it's stupid that it makes you sick, but we have that with alcohol or some medications too. 🧐

@nextRockefeller I see it the same way, nobody is forced to smoke 👌🏽

As a total non-smoker, I personally would never invest in this industry. I also don't see a great future due to the ever increasing political pressure worldwide.

@Vinc Has this political pressure had any effect apart from the success of the ban on advertising in Formula 1? I don't see anything, otherwise we wouldn't have seen a single pack of them in supermarkets, kiosks or vending machines. I don't smoke either and I hate the smoky smell of cigarettes 🚬. However, I see a lot of potential in these tobacco industries. Political pressure or not, especially as the states are dependent on cigarette taxes and are secretly always happy about them as soon as they are collected.

@TheDividendCollector If you look at the plans to increase tobacco tax, I think it will have a big impact. Other countries are already further ahead, see New Zealand, and I think it will rub off globally. I don't see any future in it.
Of course there are also "healthier" alternatives, but I hope and believe that the trend towards better health (nutrition, sport, etc.) is stronger.

@Vinc Demand will fall in the West, but will increase enormously in Asian countries 🚀 and only China has as many inhabitants as the USA and the EU combined, so I definitely see good potential in the tobacco industry 🚬

I neither smoke nor am I a friend of tobacco products because I hate the disgusting 🤢 smell of smoke. But since in the western world you can't forbid anyone anything according to the motto "Let life live" and "My body, my choice", I don't think investing in tobacco is morally reprehensible, quite the opposite. No one is being exploited, forced or murdered, etc., in contrast to Nestlé, Amazon, the arms industry, the cobalt industry and so on. The smoking consumers have made a conscious decision to destroy their lives according to the above-mentioned motto and are therefore beyond help, as they cannot cope without smoke. So why should it be morally reprehensible? With Nestlè it's completely different, as the property is being taken away from you against your will. At Amazon, many people have to work long hours for extremely low wages and are therefore humiliated. So I don't see any reason not to invest in smoking industries for moral reasons.
