I was in a Philip Morris office just last week. Ashtrays everywhere (empty), and a faint odor of tobacco smoke, but nothing overwhelming.

I only wonder why an antismoking zealot would choose to take a job at a tobacco company.

For the same reasons that RINO's have infested the Republican Party...

A few years ago I went to Philip Morris' headquarters in Richmond, Virginia to do a computer demo. I was in a sizeable room with about three dozen PM employees.........virtually all of them smoking.

You'd never have known it.

In their buildings.....well, certainly that one.......they had the most unbelievable air filtration / conditioning system you've ever seen. The smoke simply rose and disappeared.....and the system was virtually silent.

Needless to say, I was impressed. :)

Now, as to New York and their (ahem) esteemed Mayor:

Bloomberg and others are somewhat concerned that PM will pack up and leave NY if this law is enforced within their headquarters building there. Fine. Wonder if these geniuses have tallied up how many jobs AND businesses in the restaurant / bar industry will close / leave due to their draconian and nanny-State laws?? Add 'em up, Bloomberg. How many jobs are you ALREADY going to lose? How much revenue are you ALREADY going to lose??

For a so-called businessman, Bloomberg is proving to be a drooling idiot.
