Companies like MO also look cheap, but the risks from tobacco litigation are
enormous. Besides, there is the moral issue (at least for me) in investing in a company
whose product can cause death and serious disease."

What about investing in companies that pollute the waters and the air..I guess that takes care of smokestack America including oil and chemical and textile companies.Why single out tobacco stocks on moral grounds?Until tobacco is illegal,people have the right to smoke(away from others)even though it costs all of us in the pocketbook for their health problems.The idea of funds devoted to Socially Acceptable Stocks is ridiculous..there are many foods high in fats and nitrites that can also cause serious disease.Maybe we should look at the workings of the FDA..a whole new can of worms.
