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 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.

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.

Blaming the company that sells people what they want just exposes someone as a person with no willpower and not enough character to admit when they have made a mistake. Quitting smoking is not that hard if you want to quit smoking. Anyone who doesn't quit just doesn't want to quit It is a shame that the culture in our country has de-evolved to the point where the worst examples of our species will reap the greatest reward. A fat, smoking, drunk somewhere will be soon be more wealthy than Bill Gates because he will have sued Phillip Morris, Anhieser Busch, Krispy Kreme, and MacDonalds.
