REFUSE TO RUN CIGARETTE ADS

I'VE recently noticed cigarette ads in the Mercury News. Besides the
fact that cigarette ads in my face early in the morning offend me, I
know that the Mercury News is used by many schools as learning tools.
Have the tobacco giants found another way to invade the schools with
their ads?

I encourage the Mercury News to take responsibility in the fight
against teen smoking by not allowing tobacco products to be advertised
on its pages.
