You have to wonder about all this now in light of the FDA having to do a study on menthol within the next 18 months at the expense of the taxpayers yes taxpayers = big misconception *** tobacco companies WILL NOT PAY FOR THE FDA costs – the Smoker will. The Marlboro protection act _ I heard they are celebrating in Richmond that they pulled it all of with the help of their crony Matt Meyers. Hes a absolute lost dude. Lets make sure we keep PM protected so he keeps getting those tobacco dollars and let’s make sure those 400,000 smokers have to options! Make them die! Matt my boy the blood of many will be plastered to your grave one day!

I actually heard that JTI is the one that is going to buy Lorillard.

Bertram – The issue is Reynolds Snus needs to be refrigerated. Lorillards does not need to be refrigerated. Philip Morris needs no refrigeration either for their Snus.

Sounds like Lorillard needs their own refrigerated units!

Any truth to the rumor that Lorillard is fighting over the retail contracts where Reynolds is placing their Snus refrigerated units in the racking. The battle being the heat from the unit heating up the Lorillard products in the racking. Lorillard is threatening to not pay contracted money if the unit is near their product! Can anyone enlighten? Is this true?

Any news out in the industry as to Lorillard being purchased? Is it still a possibility?

I think it will be real interesting to see how RAI performs for the last quarter of 2008 and then we will know.

Renegade,

No, I don’t think Reynolds can compete with Imperial, JTI, or even other NON-tobacco companies that would be interested in acquiring Lorillard. $$$$ wins during a buyout, not proximity or convenience.

Can any one tell me what changes have been made to the Newport promotions? I know there was a price increase but I’m now hearing that they are changing the promotional discounts offered as they start back up?
