The company also said its business was hurt by an increased flow of cheap imported cigarettes and higher promotional spending.

LOL! Cheap imports? Higher Promotional Spending? Gosh, I thought they were working with the ANTI'S to STOP promoting their product!

You haven't been keeping up with the shoddy way they treat the people who bought their legal product all these years to make them what they are today. Now they want to bite off the hands that fed it.

Really! These people hate and villify MO in a media-induced, knee-jerk reaction. Yet they probably blissfully take their children to Disneyland, unmindful of a corporation that is killing the morals of this country.

MO is a great American company!

Is it true what they say about there still being ash trays in the offices? I almost did a project in that building and was told stories of free smokes...true?

I am still a proud owner of MO. FMCDH!

You make it sound like they hold them down and blow smoke in their faces. Smokers make a decision to smoke, Drinkers choose to drink, Bungee jumpers choose to jump. It is supposed to be the right of all Americans to choose their own bungee chords.

when i left 10 years ago there was no smoking in office we never received free smokes we received some coffee samples but they were very generous with functions and entertainment. The building was beautiful but at the time half empty because of another white plains office. now i hear everyone is in ryebrook. We had restarants and underground parking it was like a hotel. What kind of project were you going to do?

I don't think we are on the same page. Smokers made PM what they are today, and yet PM toots the horn and kiss up to the anti's. PM said they WANT the FDA to regulate cigarettes! This is insane.

PM said they do not WANT to go against the ANTI health fascist. If you have studied the tactics of PM over the past several years, you will know they could care less about anyone but themselves. Smokers hate PM.

I worked for a structured cable management company that had a bid to map (using Aperture) the building's cabling phone-line and hardware assets.

This is a very silly statement.

Humans are thinking beings. You must stop confusing the instrument of someone's damaging habit with the decision to use it.

Now, I'm gonna go light up.

Smokers hate PM.

Only the ones who want to blame someone else for their poor decisions and those who want to get rich by doing so.

Showboat is actually in Greenwich, next town down. Still there and still beautiful. Stamford is the town with the hideous train station and all the downtown yuppie bars. Me, I hang out in the neighborhood bars with the real folk.:-)
