New Season of Television Tackles Big Tobacco

I happened across the season premier of ABC’s show, Boston Legal, last night. The case which the episode revolved around was a case against against a tobacco company. The story is not new, but the arguments used against the tobacco company included, among other things, the improper marketing to children and the questionable outlawing of all flavored cigarettes except menthol which are popular among African-Americans. It sounded very similar to previous posts that Jen and I have made that can be found here and here.

You can check out the episode online on the Boston Legal area of the ABC.com Web site.
