Today's document is a Philip Morris presentation, A Smoker's Alliance, which explained the initial need for, and concept of a National Smoker's Alliance (NSA) to fight clean indoor air laws. Even though Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights has "outed" the NSA (shown the media that the NSA was created and sustained by Philip Morris to fight local clean indoor air proposals), this document can still be very useful at city council hearings to demonstrate the industry's intent to fight clean indoor air measures to keep sales from diminishing.

QUOTES

II. Opportunity

A new smoker's alliance could play a key role at this critical time.

Lobbying efforts are facing increasing difficulty:

Even national representatives from tobacco states are losing heart for defending smokers' rights and sustaining the tobacco industry . . . The power of the vested interest of the tobacco industry has not been fully brought to bear in sustaining smokers rights. . . Financial impact of smoking bans will be tremendous . . . Three to five fewer cigarettes per day per smoker will reduce annual manufacturer profits a billion dollars plus per year
