From Bloomberg Businessweek: Big Tobacco is back on TV

Bloomberg's Kyle Stock reports that Big Tobacco 
is coming back on TV after 43 years. Reynolds 
American (RAI) the company that makes Camel 
cigarettes will air a 60 second spot in September for 
its new Vuse e-cigarette. The U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration is drafting its first rules for the 
new devices and considering marketing constraints. 
The U.S. government banned cigarette ads on TV 
and radio in 1971.

Looks like Big Tobacco will always do whatever it 
wants without regard to health and safety in the name
of profit. Sad to see they can do whatever they want...
