| | "The companies are crowding out both farmers and the government in getting their |
| | share. Between 1980 and 1991, for example, the farmers' take on each cigarette is |
| | down from 7 cents to 3 cents per dollar. The government's take is down from 34 cents |
| | to 25 cents per dollar. At the same time, the companies' take is rising rapidly, from 37 |
| | to 50 cents per dollar." |

| | "These cigarette companies, they are ruining the American reputation around the |
| | world - I repeat, around the world. They were condemned everywhere, the way they |
| | behave, the way they market, the way they sabotage or undermine other countries' |
| | efforts to control smoking. And the one who finally will be blamed is the American, |
| | because this company, the headquarters is in America." |

| | cigarette invasion (Mother Jones, May-June 1996, p. 67) |

| | "Conservative defenders of the tobacco industry are put in the untenable position of |
| | arguing that when a school gives a condom to a teen, it sends a pro-promiscuity |
| | message; when Hollywood makes a slasher movie, it glorifies violence; but when |
| | cigarette companies promote their products as hip, cool, macho, etc. ...and give away |
| | gear with obvious adolescent appeal-it has zero impact. Bit of a consistency |
| | problem, no?" |
| | Boston Herald, October 25, 1995, p. 27 (Don Feder) |
