“Philip Morris USA agrees with the overwhelming medical and scientific consensus that cigarette smoking is addictive. It can be very difficult to quit smoking, but this should not deter smokers who want to quit from trying to do so. Our support of a consistent public health message.
We support a single, consistent public health message on the role of cigarette smoking in the development of disease in smokers, and on smoking and addiction.”
