And since we know the folks at Phillip Morris lie how could we believe any studies or statistics done by thier research center... Hey, they're not DUMMIES. The statistics they used came from the U.S. government. The ads only ran in Europe. What was hilarious was the response from the dairy and cookie industries... Outrage! Shock!!

...which by its own documents was shown to be working on ways to make cigarettes more addictive while company exectutives swore up and down they would NEVER do such a thing. I've never seen these documents, and am perplexed by the notion that an addictive substance could be made more addictive. Either it is or it ain't. And physical addiction isn't the problem: any doctor will tell you taht can be cured in about a week. The problem is psychological addiction. Ask any smoker. Or nailbiter.
