Philip Morris, RJRNabisco, and other tobacco corporations spend $5 billion annually to advertise and promote their deadly products. Most of this promotion is aimed at kids. More than 3,000 U.S. teens, and thousands more worldwide become regular smokers each day. Tobacco use now kills three-and-a-half million people around the world each year. ~i~~,~r~ational expansion"of the tobacco industry's market is closely" . tledJQtht'~~~ss of food products such as Kraft, Post, Maxwell House and Nabisco. Sincethe launch of INFACT'sboycott, targeting Philip Morris and RJRNabisco in 1993, the domestic food businessesof both corporations have stagnated.
