3% of the total ain't much, Greg, given the way some tobacco hysterics are painting Philip Morris as somehow controlling the national political agenda. Insurance, health interests, and trial lawyers, most of whom are anti-tobacco (how about those legal fees in the tobacco settlement, eh?), dwarf their contributions. If tobacco is so godalmighty, then where did the anti-smoking crusade come from? In materialist terms, of course.
