"Your Honor, would it be OK if we continued our fraudulent and deceptive cigarette marketing practices overseas?"
"Only if you limit the marketing to states that sponsor terrorism."
With this simple ruling, America's most promising covert weapon in the War on Terrorism has received the green light. It may take decades for the ranks of the terrorists to be dramatically thinned by smoking-related diseases, but every dead or impaired smoker is one less Muslim-Fascist enemy trying to destroy freedom and democracy.
Who knew what President Bush meant when he promised we were going to smoke the terrorists out!
You have to marvel at the brilliance and irony of using Camels to bring down fanatical Muslims.
Big Tobacco asks to keep marketing 'light' cigarettes overseas
A group of tobacco companies are asking a federal judge to let them continue marketing ``low tar'' and "light'' cigarettes overseas.The request comes two weeks after the same US District judge banned the practice in the United States.
The judge ruled August 17th that the nation's top cigarette makers violated racketeering laws and deceived the public for years about the health hazards of smoking.
The companies were ordered to stop using terms such as "light'' on their products, saying such cigarettes are no safer than others.
They were also ordered to publish in newspapers and on their Web sites "corrective statements'' on the adverse health effects and addictiveness of smoking and nicotine.
In court documents filed Thursday, tobacco lawyers asked the judge to clarify that ruling to let them continue their marketing practices and selling so-called "light'' and "low-tar'' cigarettes overseas.
