Annette, thank you so much for this post. It's reprehensible. I am imagining people sitting around a conference table in some marketing meeting at Virginia Slims, talking about colors and their possible affect on attractiveness to young women, and it makes me ill. I have six nieces, and it makes me furious to think of a cigarette company trying to make itself more appealing to them with things like cell phone jewelry and tiny purses. Because those things are not really even the target market for an 18-year-old, but for tweens. Disgusting.
