Impact of Infact's Tobacco Industry Campaign and the Kraft Boycott, 1993-2003
In 1993, Infact (now Corporate Accountability International) launched the Tobacco Industry Campaign, targeting Philip Morris (now Altria) as the leader in spreading a preventable global epidemic. Over the past 10 years, Infact has involved millions of people worldwide in pressuring Philip Morris/Altria to stop promoting tobacco to youth with tactics like the Marlboro Man, and to stop interfering in public health policy. Just as Philip Morris feared in 1993, the Kraft Boycott has taken a toll on the tobacco giant. The effects of the Boycott can be measured through internal corporate documents, the corporation's image makeover, financial data and problems with employee recruitment and morale.

Cowboy Diplomacy:
How the US Undermines International Environmental, Human Rights, Disarmament and Health Agreements
