...The standards adopted by the minority in the case of Toronto Marlboro Major Junior "A" Hockey Club et al. v. Tonelli et al. to “test” the minors contract were as follows: I ask whether a prudent and informed parent of a 17-year-old young man who wished to become a professional hockey player, having in mind the realities of the world around him, would approve of this contract. I believe he would. It is true that the contract in this case could have been more beneficial to the infant and the scale could have been tipped more in favour of the infant but that is of little import. It also may not be desirable that member teams of the O.H.A. Major Junior League should occupy such a preferred position as vehicles of entry to the ranks of professional hockey but that too is of little import. It was this specific contract that was available to the infant in this case. The choice was to accept it or go elsewhere and that fact must be given appropriate weight. I do not believe that it could be realistically said that it would have been in the best interest of Tonelli to go elsewhere. The dissent by Mr Justice Zuber; who felt the defendant had breached his contract, based his decision on this critical question; In September of 1974, was it in the beneficial interest of the 17- year-old John Tonelli to enter into this agreement with the Toronto Marlboros? Zuber came to the conclusion that this young man wished to be a professional hockey player and even though he had before him the opportunity...

...Niko Antonas Dr. Janet Bean English Comp I 5/5/13 What Your Mother Was Afraid Of A Smokers World Imagine yourself walking out of class on a fall day, it is not too warm and it is not too cold, you could even say its perfect temperature. It’s a Friday and your feeling good, the sun beats down on your face and you see all of your friends standing around outside of the union doors. You approach them as they laugh and converse amongst themselves. When you finally get there they give you a warm greeting and you realize you are out of cigarettes. You proceed to ask for one and as your friend is pulling you out a cigarette he proceeds to talk trash and give you a hard time for not having any. As you put it to your mouth you realize you do not have a lighter. When you ask for a lighter, you get a specific response “Oh you want me to smoke it for you too?” As you light the cigarette, you begin to inhale and feel the thick, deliciously deadly smoke enter your lungs. You feel the burning sensation all over you. As you continue to ingest the horrible gas, you and your friends continue to talk and laugh. Then you slowly begin to realize that smoking is about more than just an addiction. It is about bringing your friends together. Smokers can identify themselves with other smokers and find similar interests; it’s like a sports team, except not nearly as healthy. In this essay I will allow readers to understand and identify that smokers are not just people they are complete strangers...

...The Altria Group, Inc. Often referred to as “the house the Marlboro Man built”, The Altria Group, Inc. is the world’s largest tobacco company. Altria operates its cigarette business through the companies known as Phillip Morris USA and Philip Morris International, both of which sell Marlboro – the world’s largest selling cigarette brand since 1972 (“The Altria Group,” n.d.). This company controls about half of the US tobacco market. This is also the parent company of Kraft Foods. I chose to do a paper on this particular company because of the practices of lies and deceit that it has followed for many years. Some of the behaviors that I find socially and ethically irresponsible are that the company continually down plays the addictiveness and severe risk to health that their product can cause. Over the years the company has been under scrutiny for many different things including the practice of employing under age children to hand out cigarettes, falsifying legal and medical documents, and the paying off of political and legal leaders to accomplish the things that it wants done. This corporation has also been listed in the Wall Street Journal as Number 1 in a list of the top 10 worst places for a woman to work because of the fact that there are no women in any upper management positions and they employ nearly 75,000 people in the Philip Morris US plant alone (“Unethical Companies,” n.d.). At the annual shareholders meeting in 2011, Philip Morris International celebrated...

...From my opinion, this is not ethical. The competitors unmask Philip Morris was artificially alter the blend of Marlboro cigarettes sold in Turkey with the motive to make their taste closer to the Turkish one. Philip Morris denied that "Marlboro are consistent as possible worldwide" but some difference results from Turkey’s regulations that limit substances like tar or require use of local tobacco. But the reason is quite vague because Turkey doesn't have any regulation for tar or nicotine quantity. This explains that Philip Morris could sell Marlboro without changing the normal blend. Besides that, Philip Morris has use ammonia in the manufacturing of cigarette for over 50 years. The using of ammonia in cigarette is with few purposes such as to highlight certain flavors and to expand the volume of tobacco. The analysis of the smoke shows that cigarettes from the Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacific and Southeast Asia are containing higher CO smoke, and tar, nicotine than brands from the American, European or African surveyed. The purpose of the ammonia in cigarettes is to affect the smoker so smokers are more addicts to nicotine. After the cigarette industry’s widespread Philip Morris’s company the use of ammonia technology, Philip Morris’s company was responded to a New York Times. A letter from Philip Morris’s director of public relation relations to York Times in 24 February, 1988 say that the using of ammonia in manufacturing cigarette will not increase the amount...

...Historical Marketing Background 1920 to 1959 Marlboro was first introduced in the market in 1920, under the brand name of “Marlboro-Mild as May”. At the beginning, the brand was a cigarette designed for fine women. In 1930s, the price of Marlboro cigarettes was 15 cents per pack. The main distribution type was the direct mail. Around 1930s the “Mild as May” theme of the Marlboro brand was not so successful at the time. “One of the features of Marlboro cigarettes at the time was a red tip, which hid lipstick marks that women would leave while smoking” (6). Philip Morris came up with a new advertisement. This advertisement attempted to revitalize the brand and had the woman as the brand icon. However, during World War II the brand again faltered and had to be taken off the market. In 1950s, the fear of cancer and the connection between cancer and smoking led the market toward a filtered cigarette. Philip Morris did not have a filtered cigarette for the market, so he decided to re launch Marlboro as a new filtered cigarette brand. “In 1955, two transformations occurred which would affect both profitability and brand recognition: the addition of an integrated filter and the re-invention of the market through the debut of the ‘Marlboro Man’ advertising campaign” (2). Unfortunately for Marlboro, formerly known to be ‘Mild as May’, the new filters were considered effeminate. Philip Morris used the television commercials and magazines to assured buyers that there was...

...Marlboro Lights are no more. From now on smokers will have to ask for "Marlboro Golds."Corporations do not change iconic brands lightly. In this case cigarette manufacturer Altria Group (MO) had no choice. The Food & Drug Administration, which as of last year regulates tobacco products, banned the use of the words "mild," "light," or "low tar" on packages effective on June 22. The agency says such cigarettes are just as harmful as regular ones. Before Altria made the switch, it used the old packs to tell smokers that while the look of Marlboro Lights would change, the "cigarette stays the same." That got the FDA's attention. The agency argues many consumers will continue to assume Marlboro Golds are safer than regular smokes and has ordered Altria to hand over market research showing why it used the tactic. "What we're concerned about is that it is potentially perpetuating this untruth that these products are somehow less harmful," says Dr. Lawrence R. Deyton, the agency's top tobacco regulator. Altria spokesman Bill Phelps says the company will cooperate with the agency. Pharmaceutical companies frequently skirmish with the FDA, and Big Tobacco is widely expected to do the same. Altria was the only cigarette maker to support FDA oversight, says Phelps, because it wanted consistent rules of the game for the entire tobacco industry. Still, this is the second time Altria has clashed with federal regulators in recent months. In March it challenged the membership of an FDA tobacco...

...Cam Talbot is now a part of the Edmonton Oilers, and most of Edmonton is hoping he could be the Goalie he was for the New York Rangers. Talbot, 27, played in a total of 57 NHL games with a record of 33-15-5, with a save percentage of .931 and goals against of 2.00. Out of his 33 wins, 19 of them came while filling in for the injured Henrik Lundqvist last season, the stint he had increased his value, and was a reason why the Rangers had to deal him. So now the question remains, will he live up to the hype? Well, in a previous the “In Cam they Can” article, I stated “Here is the thing with Talbot, though, he is an awesome goalie, however, the season he had, he was in front of a team that knows how to play lockdown defense. There is no saying what will happen to him if he goes to a team that is not as strong a team.” This statement will stand through until Talbot plays a few months as the starter for the Oilers. However, there have been people saying Talbot is going to be the next Ben Bishop. Bishop, 28, was drafted 85th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Only playing 13 games with the Blues before he was traded to the Ottawa Senators before the 2012 deadline. He came over to fill in for Craig Anderson while he recovered from a laceration in his hand. All the Senators gave up for him was a 2nd round draft pick in the 2013 draft. When acquired from the Blues, Bishop had a 24-14-0 record with the Blues AHL affiliates. The 24 wins where tied for the AHL lead...

...Written Report Adam Hassen, Matt Herrig, David Indehar Statistics 12/10/2012 SITUATION: We are investigating the amount of cigarettes smoked by the population of smokers in the metropolitan area. The metropolitan area is defined as the greater metro area of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and near suburbs. Furthermore, we are attempting to make inferences on meaningful and relevant correlations and trends within the data, among other insights in to the population. SAMPLING METHOD/DATA COLLECTION METHOD: We obtained our samples by walking around Downtown Minneapolis individually (with each group member surveying different sections of the downtown area), seeking out individuals that were smoking and occasionally asked various people that were loitering outside. We would then introduce the project and ourselves, explain to them the situation, and ask them if they were willing to partake in the survey. If they agreed to participate, we would hand the participants the survey to complete, or upon their request, simply ask them the questions and record their answers. We did this on three separate occasions. Roughly 40 percent of our sample was acquired between 5:00PM and 8:00PM on Tuesday night, 30 percent between 11:00AM and 2:30PM on Wednesday, and the remaining 30 percent between 4:00PM and 6:00PM on the same Wednesday. Some bias that could be influencing our data is the fact that, in general, the population of downtown Minneapolis is somewhat more likely to consist of individuals...

...Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, United Kingdom and many other countries. A group of tobacco activists released a report recognizing how the “Be Marlboro” campaign is designed to appeal to minors. The report estimates that the company spent, at minimum, 62 million dollars on the campaign in 2012 (most recent figures). Be Marlboro targets legal-aged smokers, however campaign advertisements around the world emphasizes on youth-oriented images and themes that appeal to teenagers while featuring young attractive adolescent models partying, falling in love, traveling, and being adventurous and cool. Advertisements appeared in Germany in 2011 but were banned in October 2013 after regional authorities confirmed that that the campaign violated Germany’s tobacco control laws pertaining to marketing to youth. Marlboro claims that the marketing and advertising is aimed toward adult smokers and is in compliance with local regulations and internal marketing policies. Places where marketing and advertising are permitted, campaigns are authorized to inform current consumers of their brands and encourage smokers of competing brands to switch over to their products. Emerging markets is where the achievements and transactions of cigarettes take place. They have the same values and concepts used with the Marlboro man (a rugged individualism). There are also high cigarette transactions in low and middle-income countries that don’t have laws to protect innocent children from...
