Why is it that we, "our current society", apply such a strict standard to
tobacco and not alcohol? Both are obviously hazardous to the individual as
well as others close by, whether that be a stranger or family.

Subject: [Winona] Phillip Morris ad on the sports
page?
[Winona Online Democracy]
Excuse the change of topic:
Wow. Full page cigarette ad on the back of the sports
section of the Daily
News.
Freedom of speech and all, I suppose. My 7-year old noticed
it too, and
asked some
pretty good questions about it. I guess a big billboard ad
like that draws
attention from
children as well as adults. Very Effective.
I heard that ABC News online was running stories about the
dangers of
smoking, and
ran a banner ad for tobacco at the same time. A consumer
group noticed the
paradox
and mentioned it to ABC, who promptly took all of their
cigarette ads off
their web site.
Did anyone else hear about this? Does it bother anyone else
to have an
invitation to
lung cancer next to your crossword puzzle?
