» kristinem - Hot Pink Smokes?? What next?


I am VERY disturbed about the idea of "targeting" female smokers with "trendy" packaging. Who will buy these? Mostly girls raging from 13-25. They are the ones who mostly see this as cool or "in". As a mother of an 11 year old girl (and a 4 year old and nearly 2 year old boy/girl twins) it scares me to think that no matter what we as parents say, that tobacco companies CONTINUE to make our job harder.
