As it is available on prescription only you are required to undertake a consultation with a registered Doctor first. If after the consultation the Doctor decides that <A HREF="http://www.chantixhome.com/" REL="nofollow"> chantix </A> is suitable for you then you will be given a prescription that will help you collect chantix from any registered pharmacy. <A HREF="http://www.chantixhome.com/" REL="nofollow"> http://www.chantixhome.com/ </A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-83912038484810691602008-08-24T10:00:00.000-05:002008-08-24T10:00:00.000-05:00Well, PissedAndPetty.com, you’re taking a pretty s...Well, PissedAndPetty.com, you’re taking a pretty stereotypical view of things. The major issue involves the reality that menthol cigarettes are considered more potent and hazardous than other types. So when Blacks are identified as a major audience for menthol cigarettes, some people view the tactics to be similar to the marketing of products like, say, malt liquor. The conspiracy theorists take it to another level, deeming it all as more evidence of efforts to hold back and/or harm minorities. Unbelievable as it might sound to you, there are examples of such maneuvers throughout history. Nobody’s complaining about FUBU because that company is not selling products that have negative effects on the health of communities. Plus, FUBU—For Us, By Us—was inspired by notions of racial pride and unity. There’s a big difference, as even you should realize.

At what point does a marketing campaign cross the line from being "targeted effectively" to becoming "racist"? I'll tell you when. It's when the media decides to play that chord and let it resonate within the uninformed populace. <BR/><BR/><B>Isn't that what marketing is? --profiling people in order to reach a target market?-- </B> <BR/><BR/>What's the debate about?

The Big Tobacco executive seemed to be presenting a canned response; i.e., the debate has taken place many times already. His facts are certainly typically slanted. For example, he argues there are twice as many Caucasian menthol smokers versus Blacks. That would be kool if there were only twice as many Caucasians in the overall population versus Blacks. Seems like percentages would be a better indicator than raw numbers.HighJivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372784671087002387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-17750421867082774422008-08-21T08:29:00.000-05:002008-08-21T08:29:00.000-05:00The truth is, Newport ads suck.The truth is, Newport ads suck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
