Dataset for: Tobacco Industry Messaging around Harm: Narrative Framing in PMI and BAT Press Releases and Annual Reports 2011 to 2021
This dataset includes Annual Reports and Press releases from British American Tobacco and Philip Morris International published between 2011 and 2021 containing one or more of the keywords: harm, risk, HTP, heat, e-cig/e-cigarette, vap and any of their variants.
The data was qualitatively coded using an existing codebook, which is also included in the dataset.
The dataset relates to corporate communications around harm and risk, and was collected in order to understand how particular narrative frames might interfere with public health policy relating to tobacco.

Documentation
Data collection method:
PMI and BAT were selected based on their market value - largest and second largest transnational tobacco companies worldwide in 2021. All annual reports were saved. Press releases were filtered for inclusion based on the use of any of researcher-identified key words relating to harm reduction, these were risk, htp, harm, heat, e-cig/e-cigarette and vap. Press releases and annual reports covering the relevant date range (2011–2020) containing any of the pre-identified keywords were downloaded directly from company webpages. Boydstun et al.’s Policy Frames Codebook was used as a framework to code paragraphs that contained any of the target keywords. Relevant text was coded in paragraphs and undertaken by four coders. All relevant text was double coded.
