From the Paper:
"Philip Morris, whatever its motivations, has been able to overcome controversy and embrace drastic change for the company's overall betterment. Whatever one's feeling on whether or not tobacco companies should be able to exist at all, one thing is certain-it is possible for companies to responsibly sell potentially dangerous products, and in the final analysis, it is up to the consumer to choose them or not. In this way, the market-and not bureaucrats or lawyers-dictate the ebb and flow of free markets, and show every indication of doing so in the future as well."Sample of Sources Used:
