Another company sells its soul to the tobacco industry.

I cannot remember ever seeing a car advertisement that featured a “smoker’s package,” until I read in Saturday’s Bangor Daily News featuring a full-page ad by Darling’s Ford which featured three new 2004 Freestar vehicles, two of which included a “smoker’s pkg.”

Has Ford run out of cup-holder options only to tout more ashtrays and lighters? Perhaps a good reason to shop other companies.
