Jon- imagine my *horror* when the good ol' wholesome California fruit and vegetable company I worked for, Del Monte, was acquired by RJR as in tobacco. in 1980 my boss and I had a business trip to their hq in Winston-Salem, got a tour of the main Winston mfg plant. <shudder> everybody had "North Carolina has pride in tobacco" bumper stickers, and people smoked *everywhere*. It would have been an eye-opener, but they were watering too badly <g>. -Ben
