Quotes from this article:

The U.S. Trade Representative is up to its bad, old tricks, working on behalf of Big Tobacco . . . The likely result of the U.S. action will be to raise smoking rates in Korea, especially among women and children, over what they would have been. In other words, the United States is spreading preventable death and disease.
Robert Weissman. Essential Action attacks the USTR for pressuring South Korea not to raise tariffs on imported cigarettes. Weissman, R., <I>Essential Action Condemns USTR Pressure on Korea</I>
