"If Philip Morris really wanted to act responsibly, it would not advertise to children, and it would give all the money it has made on illegal, underage, dangerous, addicting drugs to the Department of Health. For Philip Morris, the Bill of Rights is a scoundrel's refuge."" (PR Newswire, December 12, 1990) 12.
