That wacky U.S. Congress has asked women’s magazine editors to quit running “misleading” tobacco ads. Of particular concern is R.J. Reynolds’ aggressive campaign for Camel No. 9 promoting the smokes as “light and luscious” in an attempt to appeal to young women. Since magazine editors have never been known to light up, and don’t mind losing paid advertising in the digital age, I’m sure they’ll rush to cooperate. Congress has threatened to enact legislation if the editors don’t respond.
