Intro: Don't get trapped in Philip Morris' "Red List". It's dangerous to your health, according to tobacco control advocates.
The "Red List" is cigarette manufacturing firm Philip Morris' new way of promoting their products through the Internet. Those who register on the "Red List" get invited to special events that give away cigarettes and drinks to guests.
"The lives of people, especially the youth who will sign up on the Red List will definitely be in the red, meaning stepping into the danger zone," Dr. Maricar Limpin, executive director of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance Philippines (FCAP), told abs-cbnNEWS.com.
Limpin said getting your name on the "Red List" will make you "an easy target" of tobacco advertisements and promotional materials of Philip Morris Philippines Manufacturing, Inc., manufacturer of Marlboro filter cigarettes.
The registration site is being used for the reunion concert of the Eraserheads this August. Fans who wants to get hold of free simply register on the "Red List".
