Women and Smoking
Re “Big Tobacco Funds Women Into Silence,” Commentary, April 12: How about if Philip Morris and RJR Nabisco were to spend more of their money on scholarships? This might “move up” the class of smokers who end up smoking and ultimately dying in 20 or 30 years. Maybe if the women who benefit from their donations insisted on an equal amount being spent on educating women less fortunate, everyone would benefit.
A big hand for the National Organization for Women for refusing to touch tobacco money.
