June 2, 2000

This document is a timeline for implementation of Philip Morris' key proactive programs. It reveals that tort reform is actually a program of the Philip Morris Tobacco Company (PM)! Tort reform is altering the rules of the American justice system to better suit PM's corporate interests. PM implemented tort reform alongside its "Preemption/Accommodation program," the goal of which was to enact state laws that eliminate cities' and towns' rights to enact their own, more restrctive laws regulating smoking behavior and cigarette sales.
