RENDEZ-VOUS 80
November 8, 2000
Thank you Anna for accepting our rendez-vous. May I ask you to introduce yourself?
My introduction to Big Tobacco's global expansion began in the summer of 1993, when I landed in San Salvador, El Salvador and immediately came face-to-face with a gigantic Marlboro Man billboard.
During a seven month study-abroad in Senegal two and a half years later, I was appalled at the omnipresence of cigarette advertising, and in particular, the ways in which tobacco corporations sought to link smoking with the mythic "American dream."
