## Elevator Pitch

- Combustibles matter most; don't let management distract you otherwise.
- Combustibles is seeing a broad-based volume and growth slowdown.
- Consumer sentiment indicates further weakness ahead.
- I adopt a 'Strong Sell' rating on British American Tobacco as I anticipate a further rating downgrade.
