Is there an alternative?
Matt Smith is angry because tobacco companies stopped marketing smokes to kids and instead said they were for adults only when they had reason to believe doing so would increase kid smoking. While on the face his argument makes sense, you have to wonder what he's proposing as "the right thing to do"? Should they have kept marketing to kids? Can you imagine the reaction that would get? It wouldn't matter if they could point to reports that said doing so might decrease teen smoking. And why not some criticism of governments that banned sales of tobacco to minors? Shouldn't they have hired someone to do this study and draw the same conclusion?
