Philip Morris Rebuts Claims

Despite Cheryl Healton’s suggestion (Q&A, Adweek.com, Sept. 3), Philip Morris International does not pay, directly or indirectly, for product placement of its cigarette brands in films, on television or in any similar media, and we routinely decline all requests to use our brands for such activities. This has been PMI’s policy for many years.

In fact, we support measures to encourage movie producers, directors and others in the entertainment industry to refrain from showing smoking in movies, particularly those with appeal to minors.
