Benti, 36, and Brooklyn-born, sees his new assignment this way: "Our job is to create a new audience, or to take the old audience...
Both the FTC and the FCC also urge that this warning be appended to all cigarette advertisements and commercials. This week Joseph L. Cullman III, chairman of Philip Morris Inc., will testify for the nine companies that make U.S. cigarettes.
