Cigarette Exports

The tobacco industry obviously hasn’t gotten the word yet that the Cold War is over. They’re still bent on killing the so-called “red commies” in the Soviet Union. Their weapons are disguised in bright alluring packages and they are sending millions of these time bombs, known as cigarettes, over to the Soviet Union, (Part A, Sept. 14).

The tobacco companies will make a lot of money from this gesture of greed. Is this American capitalism at its best?
