I happen to LIKE and RESPECT Philip Morris.

I can tell your not an adult smoker. However, all the adult smokers in the U.S. cannot tolerate PM's tactics when it comes to cigarettes. And how can anyone respect PM when they are working with Kennedy to regulate cigarettes?

PM isn't going to win many votes from 55 million Americans who choose to smoke a legal product. And they sure aren't going to win any popularity contests, either.

"I can tell you are not an adult smoker". Oh really. And just how can you tell that? Let's see now....I have been smoking about 35 years so I think that would qualify me as an "adult" smoker...at least I would hope so. I also happen to own some stock in Philip Morris which has done quite well by me. They pay me a good dividend and give me confidence in capitalism. Philip Morris is a great company. They do what they have to do for their business. I think I can tell that you are not a capitalist.

They don't care about none of that. They don't have to win votes..they care their survival and about making and KEEPING big bucks...
This could be great for PM. It would/could stop the lawsuits. It takes the hypocrisy out of the local, state & fed gubmnt( they decry tobacco, while raising taxes and subsidizing tobacco growers).
It should be interesting
