vi ee al . Leritarg,. 10: All Concerned ary buluge FROM: RE: For some time, the Research Department has been concerned that the G &R . Data is not an effective tool for improving Lorillard's advertising. There ‘appear to be 2 reasons for this problem: - 1) the data does not have the con- sistency necessary for clear direction, and 2). the data jis just not being used. Accordingly, we are recommending the discontinuance of the G & R service as of September 1. We will be investigating alternative methods of measuring the effectiveness of our advertising during the coming months. Due to the terms of our contract with G & R, their service will ‘continue through the end of the year. fan If you feel that we should continue to subscribe to the G & R service,’ please let me know before the end of August.

New Brands Marketing has begun concept development for SA #2 products and have suggested the following timetable: Qualitative Hypothesis Exploration 8/7 - 8/8 aS Qualitative Concept Refinement 8/26 - 8/29 whe ? Quantitative Positioning Concept Test W/O 9/23 ~who 7? Results W/O 11/18 The Quantitative Positioning Concept Test will be used to determine optimum positioning, smoker segment, business potential and aroma categories which support the positioning. For the quantitative concept test, products will be required to demonstrate the odor benefits, although these products will not be smoked by the — 0 consumer. UrRe ty bot? | In order to provide these products, decisions must be made on which aroma categories appropriately address consumer wants and match the positioning concepts. The Marketing suggestion was that internal screening, prior qualitative learning and "best judgment" be used to arbitrarily select the aroma categories. It would be unwise to make such decisions based on such fragile evidence. It is the opinion of the SA Team that in-depth marketing research be conducted. Such research should answer certain basic questions: 1. How do consumers categorize odors/aromas? 7 2. Which of these aromas have positive connotations? 3. Which of these aromas are tobacco/smoke compatible? 4, How many segments exist with different odor preference (i.e. male, female, 35+, FF, FFLT, ULT, etc.)? . Is there a universally acceptable aroma which is not segment specific? awn . greater importance to one of these groups?

The primary difference of opinion centers around protecting the rights of business owners to s6t policy versus protecting the nonsmoking publle. The minority position of the committee belleve that since thera Is no threshold established for the amount of second-hand smoke that is hazardous, wa do not have sufficient basis to establish a 100 percent smoke-free poiley. They feel that each business owner should be allowed to set thei own smoking policy. The majority believe that & threshold is net necessary. Second-hand amoke has been proven to be harmful to nonsmokers. In our survey to business owners in E! Dorado County, 83 percent belleve that second-hand smeke is hazardous to nonsmokers’ health. Another area of disagreement ts in the treatment of employaes, Many members belleve that all businesses should be treated the same. Allowing smoking sections in restaurants will sxpose employees to second-hand smoke, but the ordinance requires all other businesses to provide smoke-free alr for employees.

PHILIP MORRIS COMPANIES INC. INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE TO: FROM: SUBJECT: 120 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 Ms. Denise F. Keane DATE: June 16, 1999 Matthew N. winoemZ 1999 Worldwide Corporate Affairs Conference Denise, You asked for topics that WRA might present at the upcoming Worldwide Corporate Affairs Conference in November. These biannual conferences bring together all Corporate Affairs staff at virtually all levels and from all operating companies worldwide. The Conference tries to expose Corporate Affairs staff from the different businesses to each other and to create a sense of common purpose. Traditionally, presentations range from the tactical (a proposed PM-USA workplace accommodation plan) to the strategic (emerging issues tracking), attempt to capture activities across all the business units both domestically and internationally and also include some stretch themes, such as how technology will affect the future. A highlight of the 1997 conference was a techno-futurist from M.LT. While it would be helpful to know the "theme" for the 1999 conference, my point is that while almost any topic could find a home at past conferences, the more a presentation could fill more than one bill the better, i.e, worldwide rather than just USA, cutting across businesses rather than tobacco alone, and so forth. My guess would be that the theme of this year's conference will center around the new four strategic directions - alignment, constructive engagement, image and proactive dialogue - in an attempt to cohere all PM Corporate Affairs staff with a shared vision. Given past conferences and my assumption for this year's theme, I recommend two potential WRA presentations: New Regulatory Engagement and Courtesy of Choice. Both would “fit" as examples of initiatives the Company is taking that are consistent with the new strategic direction. 1. "New Regulatory Engagement" (working title) would implicitly explain WRA's role in the context of explaining emerging regulatory issues and new approaches to working with the regulatory community. This topic is an outgrowth of your recent 2RF presentation. However, the issue scope should @ PEGE9IESIO

CAMEL EQUITY STUDY (#350-60) ANALYSIS MEETING (6/20/94) 1. Attitude Segmentation: The objective is to identify the attitudes that embody the spirit of young adult smokers. * The segmentation is based on the responses to a battery of 55 attributes on attitudes toward life. * Initial results indicate two distinct groups that reflect a CAMEL attitude. * The first group is highly sociable and is characterized by the following attitudes: Want to live in/near a big city. Prefer a party to a quiet night at home. Too wild to settle down. Having fun is extremely important. Prefer an exciting adventurous life. Important to keep up with new styles. Fitting in with friends is important. oeee 8 @ @ Camel occasional usage is highest among this group. * The other group is slightly more detached, as the following attributes suggest: Work is not important. I don’t always think things through first. Not important to keep up with new styles. Not worth paying extras for well-known brands. Fitting in with friends is not important. People should be free to look, act and dress the way they want. This segment contains a high proportion of white males in their late 20’s and early thirties. It has the highest proportion of Camel UB smokers, and is the second highest on occasional usage. * The largest segment include the conventional, work- oriented, settled-down smokers who prefer a quiet, secure life. * The final group is the smallest, and has the most _ pessimistic attitude. They tend to live for today, rm and believe that its a waste of time to plan for the future--life is just a matter of luck. - | oa Ww ross -cooper -lund, inc.

FSC-144-B 8/9/96 SUBJECT: Revised Reporting Procedures for Product Availability DISTRIBUTION: X_ AVP _X_ KAM X_ DM “X_ RSM “X_ AM “*X_ RM “X_ RBM X_ Reg.Mil/DF Mgr.” MIL “X__ROM “X_ AE __ DF ~ __ REP Our key business drivers at retail are the “3 P’s”: 1) Product Availability (variety and depth) 2) Presence (location, visibility and advertising) 3) Promotions (type, quantity, quality, frequency) Product availability is one of our “3 P’s” and is a primary accountability to which very little action can currently be executed on the basis of meaningful account or market specific data available. Issue - Current Considerations Currently SR's/RR’s report in-stock or OOS on Region designated brand styles resulting in: - Limited measures which provide little or no actionable information - Inconsistent brand style tracking prevents chain, area, national rollup/views - Current report is measured as % of doors - thereby assuming all accounts are equal - Current report does not identify conditions/problems nor does it provide degree or extent of conditions Objective The objective of the revised product availability reporting procedures is to provide better measures and more actionable information on product availability at retail. Action Steps for revised product availabllity reporting procedures. 1) Begin to track/monitor OOS at retail on dur top 20 national brand styles and region identified market opportunity brand styles effective August 26, 1996. (We will place the top 20 brand styles in SIS here in Winston-Salem...see attached list.) - SR’s/RR’s will continue to report OOS at retail but with brand style focused on identified national and market place business needs. No change in reporting other than the number and selection of brand styles. 2) Each region must provide a list of brand styles (suggest no more than 5 to 10 - if any at all) that you would like to measure that are not included in the national top 20 brand styles. Note to RSM's/RBM's: Piease submit these brand styles by Region to your respective AMO and they will ensure placement in SIS for August 26, 1996 effective date - Respond to AMO week of August 19, 1996. 9Lez 66LTS

—_ . PROJECT MX QUALITATIVE RESEARCH : - —? (MD #86-42903) , The purpose of this report is to present findings from recent MX product qualitative research. . . BACKGROUND: Project MX is a tobacco-filtered cigarette developed to appeal to male, non-menthol smokers. Initial qualitative research on 14mg conventional blend products was conducted among FF smokers. This research indicated a problem with. too much impact. As a result of this learning, R&D developed three reduced nicotine blends and two variations of the shredded tobacco filter: o Blends - Control-Conventional, high nicotine (A) - Low nicotine (B) ~ Low nicotine with vanillin and chocolate in top dressing (C) - Low nicotine with increased air dilution (H) o Filter Variations ~ All-tobacco filter ~ Combination filter: 15mm tobacco/l10mm cellulose acetate -- Control-Cellulose acetate at mouth end (G) -- Tobacco filter at mouth end (F) These prototypes were examined to aid R&D in determining blend, casing and top dressing direction for future quantitative testing. METHODOLOGY: Four focus groups were held on August 4-5, 1986 in Atlanta, Georgia. The all male groups were split on the basis of age (18-34, 35-49) and flavor grouping (FF, FFLT). All the respondents smoked 85mm, non-menthol brand styles. Each group was initially exposed to a cigarette with the combination filter (G). Since the cellulose acetate portion was at the mouth end, this enabled us to obtain consumer perceptions of what looked to be a standard product. Smokers were then shown the tobacco filter concept (see attachment) without product. Following their comments on the concept itself and their expecta~ tions of the product, they were given a cigarette identical to the first with the exception that the tobacco portion of the combination filter was at the mouth end. This was followed by exposure to other prototypes with an all- tobacco filter. In addition, smokers were able to visually compare two colors of the all-tobacco filter. 6800 7090S 5 oa? Oo

RJR MEDIA Position Paper No. 8 Subject: Translating National Media Programs of Cigarette Products Into Test Market Situations. . ’ “ue —) Background - The Corporation is presently committed to test marketing several new cigarette brands. Given the uniqueness of each brand's marketing strategy, it would not be feasible to formulate a media translation procedure encompassing all possible test situations. However, a general course of action is evident which may be applied to most test market translations. In scope, the following will set down a general media policy for test market concepts, market selection, and the mechanics of media: Discussion ~ Test Market Concepts - There are two test market concepts which MRD may use in reading the | ) results of a market test--"National Simulation" or "Division Simulation." The following is a discussion of these two concepts and the implications which they have for developing a media translation: National Simulation ("Little U.S." Translation) - In this situation, each test division serves as a model for the total U.S. marketing area, Ideally, there are three test divisions, each with a population of 500M+. In addition, the configuration of each division in terms of metro, rural, and ethnic population, sales distribution, and media penetration should closely resemble that of the national market as a whole. Obviously, it is doubtful that any test*division will exactly conform to both the U.S. population profile and the coverage provided by a national media plan; usually, the selected division represents the best compromise under the circumstances. In addition to MRD's criteria for selecting a division for test (BDI, category development, etc.), these media and demographic factors should be considered: , 1) Metro population: % division vs. % total U.S. 2) Rural population (C & D counties): % division vs. % total U.S. °3) Ethnic population (Black and/or Spanish): 8% division vs. % total U.S. 4) National magazine penetration in the division vs. total \ U.S. average. NOTE: The county-by-county circulation of the magazines should be determined to acknowledge geographic circulation variances. L809 0200S

Draft Dear Tom: The compilation put together by the staff is impressive, even to an old-timer like me with so many years’ involve- cancer research. Actually, the list is a short one. When one looks at the numerous studies and projects approved by the Scientific Advisory Board and funded by CTR, one finds considerable important data that might not otherwise have been made available to the scientific community. Looking back to when I first became associated with CTR, it is becoming increasingly evident that there are many weaknesses in the epidemiological and other work some people rely on when they blame cigarette smoking as being the major cause of lung cancer and other ailments. The deficiencies of the tobacco causation hypothesis and the need of much research are becoming clearer to in- creasing numbers of research scientists. rE know there are many investigators who look at the to- bacco hypothesis with an unbiased and impartial eye and find that it has been over-simplified and over-interpreted. The propaganda efforts of various groups and agencies have anstilled fear in the mind« of many people. This is to’ be deplored, the more so because it is not based on good, honest science To insist that scientific conclusions be based firmly on critical and unbiased research is an essential element in the search for truth. I am convinced the truth will come in time and only from research. IT_am proud of my years with CTR. I know the members of the SAB are proud and grateful for the opportunity to de- velop a program that is aimed only at providing informa- tion. The industry can take pride in its support of CTR through the years. The program of the SAB is a worthy one and has contributed much to the advancement of scientific knowledge. Certainly, it is, in my opinion, the largest and most intensive such program in the world and, I feel, the most productive in terms of getting solid findings in the area in which we sre interested. With kindest regards. . Sincerely, BZN 16420

RE: PRESENTATION BY PROFESSOR DR. SCHMAEHL IN BERLIN NOVEMBER 23, 1979 , Professor Schmaehl presented a lecture at the Berlin meeting of Clinicians and: Otorhinolaringoflogic Specialists on November 23, 1979, on the pathogenesis of malignant tu- mors in the oral cavity, larynx, esophagus and lung. There is no doubt that the attending doctors were etrongly moved by the lecture. Prof. Schmachl knew how to present the relationships in a short period and illuminating manner, whereby the presentation was less scientific and more designed for a continuous education for the participatns. -In discussing the subject, Prof. Schmaeh] raturally included the problem of smoking and health. He presented the problem in a restrained ‘manner which is worth noticing. He emphasized the following: 1. Smoking is one risk factor among many and it is exclusively up to the smoker to decide whether he is willing to take the risk associated with smoking. 2. The introduction of filter cigarettes reduced very significantly the risk of smoking. It is possible that further progress in cigarette manufacture will lower. the risk still further. : 3. The idea advanced by Prof. Oeser, that cancer deaths He are "fate", may be correct. However, this concept can hardly satisfy a scientist. More so, because of the evidence oY the possibility of cancer induction in animal experiments and seemingly also in humans of every age group with chemical substances and environ- mental factors. 4. There are no indications that certain psychological dispositions play a role in carcinogenesis, the opposite may rather be the case. 5, The presentation lasted about 45 minutes, the subject of smokinr was dealt with for about five to ten minutes. The short ime used for this subject should have created the impression that today's smoking can not be so dangerous. November 27, 1979 Dr. F, Adlkofer S@2z Leoos

- - R,J, REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY ee L . oes} INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM SENSORY EVALUATION DIVISION | ea Pog : SUBJECT: Summary of Human Study DATE: ctober-9% LIST ft | Extended Use Results Noa fs a i fegh | | eV anit 8 - TO: John Reynolds FROM: Margaret ik.” Savoca Summary | The initial mean value for acceptance using a 9-point hedonic scale was 5.67 (6= like slightly). By the end of two weeks this mean score had dropped to 5.16 (5= neither like nor dislike). The attribute ratings identified problems with strength, odor and performance that could be correlated to decline in acceptance. Some subjects Gid comment on their impression that they felt better during the period they were smoking the product. ; . : Background There were three groups of Human Study subjects who completed periodic evaluations of their perceptions of the product during the periods when they were smoking the test product . The evaluations included the measurement of Overall Acceptance and 16 attributes related to performance, usage, flavor, strength, and odor (ballot is attached). The subjects also provided written comments. The 31 subjects who ‘ evaluated the test product for two weeks, completed three evaluations (Groups S1 and S2). The twelve subjects who evaluated the product for 39 days, completed five evaluations(S3 Group). The data were analyzed for all subjects of Groups Si, S2 and S3 for three intervals. The subjects in Group S3 who provided five evaluations were also analyzed separately. The results of the first two intervals have been reported previously. Results of Three Intervals for All Subjects Test conditions varied for the three groups of subjects. The Si and S2 Groups were both on the diet but smoked the product during different two week periods. Males and females were represented in both groups. The S3 Group was not on the diet and smoked the product for 39 days. The S3 Group was comprised of males only. The results were analyzed for group and interval effects. Group effects were not a major source of information. The three interva] results indicate that 12 of the 16 attributes and Overall Acceptance were significantly different across time. The changes exhibited by these attributes were viewed in one of: two ways. First, as a movement in the score that would represent a change in w (2) oa nw oa uw w oa ~/
