Tobacco companies go subliminal

Under fire tobacco companies are finding new ways to promote their products. Cigarette smoking continues to decline in the US with only about 20% of the population still puffing. Warning on packs, negative press, non smoking bars and restaurants, lack of advertising opportunities has put pressure on Big Tobacco to get their deadly product in the public eye. New reflectors are beginning to appear all over the country on two-lane highways and on roads with lots of curves.

We’ll get there safely thanks to R.J. Reynolds

R. J. Reynolds brands include Camel, Kool, Winston, Salem, Doral, Eclipse, Export A and Pall Mall. Brands still manufactured but no longer receiving significant marketing support include Barclay, Belair, Capri, Carlton, GPC, Lucky Strike, Misty, Monarch, More, Now, Tareyton, Vantage, and Viceroy. The company also manufactures certain private-label brands. Five of the company’s brands are among the top ten best selling cigarette brands in the United States, and it is estimated that one in three cigarettes sold in the country were manufactured by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. In 2006 R. J. Reynolds acquired the rights to the smokeless tobacco products Kodiak and Grizzly dip.

The good old days, when you could smoke and play Backgammon without government interference
