Clearing The Air

Some companies make money the old fashioned way, they earn it in fair, free market competition.

Unethical companies on the other hand use the force of government to eliminate their competitor's products......and guarantee a virtual government endorsed monopoly.

One such company, Johnson and Johnson is enjoying record sales of their pharmaceutical nicotine product line such as Nicorette. Another of Johnson & Johnson's subsidiaries ALZA, manufactures Nicoderm and Nicoderm CQ; making Johnson & Johnson the primary manufacturer and seller of over the counter pharmaceutical nicotine products.

Nor is it a coincidence that Johnson & Johnson's private foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), is the principle sponsor and funding source for smoking ban lobbying efforts around the globe.

Fabricating false and misleading information about secondhand smoke in order to sell pharmaceutical nicotine products, while eliminating tobacco nicotine use, makes RWJF / Johnson & Johnson company and the non-profits they bankroll the new Enron scandal.

Proof of their lack of ethics and intentional rent seeking agenda is exemplified in their lack of concern for the financial damage they exact on the entire hospitality industry.

Warren Buffet, shame on you for getting into bed with this sleazy, rent seeking company.

Keeping in mind that roughly 70 million Americans enjoy the use of tobacco products and millions more are employed in the smoking ban ravaged hospitality industry.......I would encourage each and every one of these individuals not to do business with Johnson & Johnson Company or their subsidiaries.
