SIR— On February 1, 2002, Brazil will become the first country in the world to include the word “Drug†on its
cigarette warning labels.
The tobacco cartel has
lobbied successfully in every other country to prevent the word “drug†from appearing on
cigarette packs.
The warning translated
from Portuguese to English says, “Nicotine is an addictive drug,†and includes a picture of a smoker lighting a cigarette with the butt of a previous cigarette.
