Your advertisement for Pall Mall cigarettes in last Sunday's edition indicates a major change in Parade Magazine’s attitude towards tobacco advertisement. While it states that the Surgeon General has detected "Carbon Monoxide" in the smoke, the advertisement does not mention that cigarettes are also extremely addictive (partly because of ADDED addictive substances), and that both smoking and "second-hand" smoking causes cancer and shortens life-spans. Your insertion of tobacco advertisements into your magazine demonstrates a contempt for your intended readers not seen perviously. It appears you value advertising revenue greater than you do the health of your readers or that of your reader’s children. I will contact the newspapers who carry your magazine and ask them to find another magazine to insert into their Sunday editions. John Womack.
