There were unlikely alliances yesterday when some of South Africa's most powerful institutions came to Parliament to do battle over the Tobacco Products Amendment Bill. The proposed legislation will ban tobacco advertising and sponsorship, and make smoking in public places illegal. In the camp ranged against Health Minister Dr Nkosazana Zuma's tough anti-smoking legislation were bodies as diverse as a trade union, a newspaper house, a burger chain and the premier soccer league. They warned of revenue losses amounting to hundreds of millions of rands and the loss of thousands of jobs.
