Hillary Clinton Upset Over Candy Cigarettes

Newsday reports:
Clinton's principal target yesterday were advertisers. She singled out the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. for producing citrus, berry and toffee-flavored cigarettes for the "Joe Camel" demographic.

"It is just unacceptable for any company to push candy-flavored cigarettes and cigarette ad campaigns targeted at teens," she said.

"Bravo, Hillary," said Joel Spivak, spokesman for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a Washington-based anti-tobacco group.
How soon before Hillary Clinton wants to ban t-shirt advertising by Tobacco companies?
