After 15 years of fighting the federal government over lies to the public about the health risks of smoking, the nation's biggest tobacco companies are ready to apologize.
Philip Morris USA, R.J. Reynolds, Lorillard, and Altria are preparing full-page ads to run in the Sunday editions of the country's top 35 newspapers, as well as online ads for those papers' websites and prime-time television spots to run for a full year on CBS, ABC, and NBC. The corporations are also required to run corrective statements on their websites and cigarette packages.

All the money the gov't spent fighting tobacco companies and now they say 'weed' is OK.
anonymous 11:14, Duuuuuuude, reeeeeelaaaaax. They'll get around to it some day. LOL
We're in the age of apologies.I can't think of anyone anywhere anyhow who deserves an apology for anything.The next time a high profile individual is asked to apologize for anything at all,I hope he says "I refuse to apologize.I'm glad I did what I did and I'd do it again".If I smoke too much I'll die from it and likewise with drinking too much.What stupid idiot doesn't know that?
