I hope PM suffers huge losses as even loyal Marlboro smokers downgrade to cheaper smokes because they can no longer afford to smoke the PM brands.

One more reason to hate PM. I have to wonder if any of those suits have even set foot on a reservation? Most are the pits! Casino’s and tobacco sales allow them to take care of their members, provide health care and education and senior services.

PM wants to put them out of business so the suits can get bigger bonuses? That company needs to die a slow and painful death for their greed. I loathe them and everything they have done to the industry.

As FDA considers the issue of package colors and trade dressing that are “similar descriptors” to “low tar,” “light” etc., what is tough to understand is why smaller manufacturers would not jump at the opportunity to make it more difficult for Philip Morris to sell Marlboro Red (full), Marlboro Gold (lights), Marlboro Silver (ultra-lights), and Marlboro Medium (less than regular but more than lights) when doing so would even the playing field, since they have little to lose and much to gain. Philip Morris has the most to lose if FDA were successful in banning colors given that their rooftop and colors are the most known to consumers.
