Ad Execs on Tobacco

NPR's Brooke Gladstone reports on a group of renegade advertisers who are breaking with the pack to OPPOSE pitching tobacco to children. Last August, the FDA established new limits on cigarette advertising. The tobacco and ad industries have formed a coalition to fight those limits. Now this breakaway group is launching an ad campaign to convince their advertising compatriots to get behind the government.
