"Pressure on forests comes from the use of paper associated with wrapping, packaging, and advertising cigarettes. Modern cigarette-manufacturing machines, for example, use more than 6 kilometres of cigarette-width paper per hour to manufacture cigarettes."

WWF Agriculture & Environment

Tobacco Industry quotes:

"It is important to know as much as possible about teenage smoking patterns and attitudes. Today’s teenager is tomorrow’s potential regular customer, and the overwhelming majority of smokers first begin to smoke in their teens - It is during the teenage years that the initial brand choice is made: At least a part of the success of Marlboro Red during its rapid growth period was because it became the brand choice among teenagers who then stuck with it as they grew older."

Phillip Morris, 1981
