The industry cries that it's against youth smoking
are a great line of talk; action is of course
another matter. This research finding is a fine
case in point. If the industry were really against
youth smoking, it would respond to this finding
by immediately cutting all advertising and promotion
that portrayed or suggested a connection between
the product and being thin. To do otherwise,
to keep running such ads, would,
in the light of this finding, be promoting
the product in a way known to appeal to children.
Once again, this industry's cries that it is "against
youth smoking" are not accompanied by action.
