One of the executives said to take them all. Surprised, Goerlitz asked, "Don't any of you smoke?" The excutive shook his head and said, "Are you kidding?

They sponsor rock concerts, teen dances, hire young boys to sell cigarettes to passing motorists, and saturate the airwaves and billboards.

In Hong Kong a new clothing line "Salem Attitude" and a new music promotion "Marlboro Red Hot Hits" grew out of a advertising ban. In Bucharest, RJ Reynolds made a deal to provide the cash strapped government with traffic light bulbs for one year. In exchange, the yellow lights would bear the silouhette of the "Camel" cigarette logo.(5)
