June 11, 2007 - Banning tobacco smoking in public places is a public health issue and not a property rights or business rights issue. Take for example Wyatt Clark from Ferndale, MI.. When 6-year old Wyatt is exposed to secondhand cigarettes smoke, his asthma can get triggered so badly that he is rushed to the emergency room. He cannot go bowling because of the smoke. Restaurants that serve his favorite food, Coney Island hot dogs, often are off limits, too. "If he's exposed to any cigarette smoke, he literally will turn blue and start gasping and is unable to breathe," says his mother, Teresa Clark.

Kool Flow for the smooth laid back smoker and Kool Groove for the bold and upbeat type. See Newsbrief from May 12, 2007 below regarding the new Camel Signature Blends - Frost, Infused,Robust and Mellow. The tag for this series is "Severely Interesting" - maybe it should READ "Severely Deadly." (The word on the street is that Kool will be increased in price and the Camel Signature Series will soon be "Buy One Get ONE Free" - June 14, 2007, TobaccoWatch.org) Also Philip Morris' Marlboro Smooth (its tag - "A Menthol Like No Other") that arrived on store shelves in February 2007. Let's not forget the Philip Morris promotion coming up on July 7, 2007.While fewer people are smoking, menthols' share of the overall cigarette market has grown steadily for several years. In 2000 about 26.5% of smokers were menthol smokers, in 2006 you're looking at 28.5% and (at least according to R.J.Reynolds) they expect the mentho
