| | "Cigarette manufacturers have spelled out in full-page advertisements, and through |
| | their lobbying organizations in Washington, such as the ACLU and the Tobacco |
| | Institute, how a 'bureaucracy run wild' is preparing to prohibit smoking and abolish |
| | cigarettes. What will be next, goes the cigarette company line, a new prohibition on |
| | alcohol? Caffeine? Fatty foods? Sweets and candy? In fact the FDA already regulates |
| | candy, caffeine and fatty foods under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. |
| | Traditionally, cigarettes have not been subject to even the same scrutiny as a cup of |
| | coffee." |

| | "In at least one instance, Philip Morris's in-house advertising and graphic art |
| | department designed, wrote copy for, produced and sent out an entire direct-mail |
| | campaign concerning smokers' rights that used the ACLU name and logo." |

| | Lew Maltby is director of the ACLU's Workplace Rights Project. In 1992, he traveled |
| | to Copenhagen at the expense of the Tobacco Institute to address a conference on |
| | smoking restrictions, and in his speech stated "many of the claims made about the |
| | health effects of smoking are exaggerated." |

| | The Hooters 500 auto race in November 1993 at the Atlanta Motor speedway was |
| | one of the Winston Cup NASCAR series, and was attended by 100,000 people, the |
| | largest sporting event in Georgia. This series includes 30 races in 14 states each |
| | year. The Skoal trailer had a sign that read, "Keep Government Out of Racing |
| | Sponsorships...WARNING LABELS DO NOT BELONG ON RACE CARS." |
