''In Proft we trust'' - The corporate responsibility of tobacco companies.

Tobacco companies are no more responsible for the health problems of individuals who use their products than condom manufacturers are of individuals who use their products.

Just look at the last line - it claims that there is a differance between light and medium, when it has been proven that they are equaly cause cancer.

equally? i would dare say they are more dangerous. rather than considering the amount of tar/carbon monoxide per puff of smoke, look at the big picture.
someone who switches from regular to light needs to smoke much more to get the same fulfillment of nicotine. so, they smoke almost twice as much.

now, their lungs are filled with smoke as opposed to fresh air for twice as long as if they had just smoked regular cigarettes. and doesnt common sense dictate that the length of time which your lungs are exposed and the lack of time they have to recover from cigarette to cigarette is a huge factor in the damage caused?

yeah, gotta love phillip morris and their concern for their customers.

Ah, the stuff here in Europe is very...strange.

It's funny when you see something like this in cigarette box:

"Sweet taste...perfect arome...made just for you."

And below it reads:

"TOBACCO KILLS."

Well i know for sure in the seventies they lied by saying it is not addictive. Recently in Canada, Provinces can sue the tobacco company for billions upon billions. Also i have noticed that the number of people who smoke has gone down. Before smokers used to be everywhere like ten years back and now you do not see many smokers all over the place. Either the anti-smoke campaigns (which are really effective) or the bans that apply to many public places and the sky high taxes are having an effect. Imo the govt should take the responsibility to try and stop people from smoking. Its possible because its working here in Ontario. Also even with the sky high taxes the govt still spends more on smoking related problems then they get from taxes.

Hey now lets think about this why would the good tobacco company's sell us something that they know might kill us.......I mean if we die don't they lose customers......and that means loss of profit and we all know thats not good for business🙂 Modified King Pin quote

Phillip Morris just makes me laugh unless of course I get a contract with them then they are my buddies cuz c'mon we all know its about the benjamins...😏
