Corruption or stupidity?
There
are only two possibilities: •
The 390,000 kids recruited to smoke each year by the
smoking they see on screen are worth
$4 billion in lifetime sales to the tobacco companies.
And that’s just in the United States.
•
Either the film studios and their corporate parents
are still compensated to promote tobacco, which means
they’re corrupt. Or else they’re pushing
tobacco for free, which means they’re stupid.
Decide for yourself.
