Find out why Dole’s talkin’ tobacco.
 "We feel a responsibility and a desire to speak out on behalf of the 97 million smokers in Europe.

There is a constant drumbeat on the issue that my smoke is hurting you. That is the principle we are working on, because it is not backed by the evidence.”

–David Greenberg, Vice President EU Corporate Affairs, Philip Morris Corporate Services, attempting to pass off their new ad campaign as a plea for smokers’ rights. [As quoted in the June 4, 1996 Reuter European Business Report.]

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
