WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The following is a statement by Matthew L. Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids:

For the second time in a month, Philip Morris International has had to withdraw sponsorship and promotion of a concert in a developing country after coming under international criticism for engaging in cigarette marketing that appeals to children.
