The Tobacco Company Executive

You are the person who wants to get young people to smoke. You need to get 
them addicted in order for your company to survive. What are the big tobacco 
companies out there that you may work for? What are the main brands of 
cigarettes or other products that they make? What are their views on the 
rights of smokers? Is it getting harder for tobacco companies to attract new 
users? How much money do big tobacco companies spend each year on 
advertising? What kind of advertising techniques do they use?

Explore the tobacco debate from the Tobacco Companies' views.
