Tobacco Companies will never give up they will always fight for their income. For example R.J. Reynolds is coming out with a new smokeless tobacco. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is introducing three smokeless dissolvable products, Camel Orbs, candy-shaped lozenges, Camel sticks, a twisted stick resembling a toothpick and Camel strips (a strip that dissolves on the tongue). The products, packaged in colorful metal tins, are due to go on shops shelves in January.
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids are not agree with R.J. Reynolds' latest cigarette incarnation: "They are likely to appeal to children because they are flavored and packaged like candy, are easy to conceal even in a classroom and carry the Camel brand that is already so popular with underage smokers." In general R.J. Reynolds cigarettes have a long history of allegedly marketing cigarettes to children. For example in 1997 Joe Camel was stricken from advertisements after a 1991 report, from the Journal of the American Medical Association, which concluded more young children could recognize the cartoon camel than could recognize Mickey Mouse.
Recently cigarettes with tasty names like Mandarin Mint, Izmar Stinger, Twist, and Creamy Mellow Mint caused noise and were eventually pulled from the shelves. For not to lose their income tobacco companies were agreed to "stop identifying cigarettes with candy, fruit, desserts or alcoholic beverage names, imagery or ads." But now Tobacco Companies think again that only tasty name of cigarettes will save their revenue.
