Message to Louis Camilleri Kristina Rapatt Hello, my name is Kristina Rapatt, I am a new State Wide Board Member
for Target Market, and I am also a junior in high school. I am still young
at age 16, yet I have an opinion, a voice, and a hatred to Big Tobacco
for targeting me and many other young people for so many years. Tobacco
companies have manipulated me all my life, and I was even a supporter
of the product starting at the age of 10 years old. Now I know better
thanks to Target Market and their clever advertising to get the word out
that tobacco executives are all slime! I will do what I can now to prevent
advertising to all youth in the future. I hope that Target Market can
make a difference in other countries one day as well. So Philip Morris has a new CEO huh? “Louis Camilleri come on down!
You’re the next contestant on Evil manipulation of Innocent Victims!”
Boy I hope you feel special. Why don’t you just go on a major killing
spree? After all, murder is murder, and you’re killing people with
your poisonous products.Why is it that your company places cigarette ads
in a child’s view, or add sweet flavors to tobacco to make the second
hand smoke less repulsive? What you're doing is getting the younger generation
hooked on your product so they can replace the dying buyers. Louis, you’re a new Chair in the Business, you actually can turn
this whole thing around, you can stop targeting teens with your advertisements,
and start respecting youth. Target Market will still Target you and other
tobacco companies as long as you are targeting us.” |
