However, in some respects you are promoting your company. I find your position somewhat contradictory. I understand that you are completely free to do as you wish. I also understand the full extent of the problem surrounding cigarette smuggling. That is truly a whole other problem. You find yourself in a difficult position, but it is unusual to see a major tobacco company defending its interests and addressing another problem. Overall health is not the only problem. Taxation is also a problem. Regardless, I find you quite brave. The issues involved are complex.
