Article Abstract:

A purported memorandum of the CEO of a certain tobacco company is presented. It is addressed to the vice president for research and to the vice president for product development. It admonishes them for the failure of the supposedly programmed levels of nicotine, designed to cause the smoker to be addicted to cigarettes. The CEO is surprised at the government's view that a 45 cents increase in the price of a pack of cigarettes, because of additional taxes, would cure the smokers from their addiction.
