Our position, word by word. Youth At Philip Morris, we believe that adults have the right to choose whether to smoke or not. Minors, on the other hand, should not smoke. Period. We also believe that preventing minors from having access to cigarettes is the key to addressing this issue. That's why we recently launched Action Against Access, one of the most comprehensive programs ever introduced to combat the issue of youth access to cigarettes. Action Against Access is a series of tough initiatives that have as their ultimate goal making all cigarette sales face-to-face transactions so age can be verified in person. We are confident that, when fully implemented, this program will make a difference. Everyone has a role to play in preventing youth access: educators, lawmakers, parents, communities. And of course, the tobacco industry. At Philip Morris we will continue to take a leadership role so that minors do not have access to cigarettes. We want you to know where we stand.
