"[A] report, commissioned by the cigarette maker [...] totes up smoking’s 'positive effects' on national finances, including revenue from excise and other taxes on cigarettes and 'health-care cost savings due to early mortality.'" Well holy fuck, you don't say? These guys really twist my stomach into knots, let me tell ya. "C'mon, give us a trade deal! We'll make a killing!" Jesus! What have these guys been smoking?! Luckily, Adbusters is leading a campaign to revoke Philip Morris' corporate charter. Get involved."
