BLOOMY SET TO STUB OUT SMOKING AT PHILIP MORRIS

October 7, 2002 -- THERE'S an office tower across from Grand Central Terminal where you never see those sad groups of smokers huddled out front like heroin addicts at a methadone clinic.

That's because people who work in this Park Avenue building - the headquarters of tobacco giant Philip Morris - can smoke all they want inside. The company even provides the cigarettes.

So what does Phillip Morris do that bothers you?

Hey, if you don't want any of their yummy, delicious cigarettes just leave 'em there on the rack at the Stop 'n' Rob.

Since you felt compelled to single "me" out, I will answer you: one big reason I can not stand PM is because they are working with Fat Ted Kennedy and WAXMAN to have the FDA regulate cigarettes. And we all know that if cigarettes were regulated by the FDA , they would have to BAN the product. And the list goes on. They are biting off the hands that fed them to make them the corporation they are today.

As for not buying their cigarettes: I never did and never will. When I bought cigarettes, they were RJR cigarettes. Why don't I buy them now? Because for over a year, I have been rolling our own. When Maine taxes went up so high, and a carton sold between $44 and $50 dollars, I said 'That's it!" Now we give our money to the local Smoke Shop and I can now roll a carton of cigarettes for UNDER $8.00

SHOP CHEAP! IT'S YOUR CIVIC DUTY!
