Philip Morris is now a name synonymous with death, disease and deception. Previously confidential information about the actions of the corporation has come back to haunt the company. The lies and secrecy have come crashing down on the heads of executives at Philip Morris, because we are demanding the truth. The citizens of the United States and world are no longer tolerating the immorality and pure dishonesty of corporations, especially corporations who set their aim at making toxic products.

In today’s fast paced and competitive world, it is essential that every successful corporation has an appealing image. Visions of misery and despair are associated with Philip Morris because they manufacture the most popular brand of cigarettes in the world. That means they are the leading producer of a product that kills innocent people.

Consumers do not want to support a company that is slowly killing their friends and family. If something isn’t done to correct the predicament the corporation faces, their future would certainly be in jeopardy. The solution? Con, entice and otherwise lie to the entire nation. To correct their severely warped image, Philip Morris is making an attempt to mislead consumers by hiding behind an alias. Stepping up and taking responsibility for their actions is apparently not an option. Their new title seems to promise the company a brighter future with visions of blue skies and clean, clear air. Their plan is misleading, dishonest and blatantly insulting.

Regardless of the steps Philip Morris takes to erase the past, it cannot be transformed. They cannot run from the consequences they deserve. They cannot expect approval of their actions. They may trive to use a new label to scheme their way to success, but as more people are informed of their actions their support will continue to diminish. The damage Philip Morris has done to our nation and the world will not be forgotten.”
