Lorillard Tobacco Company has asked the FCC to bar the broadcast of an
anti-tobacco ad produced by the American Legacy Foundation that includes
parts of a telephone conversation between a teenager and a Lorillard
employee.
The company cites FCC rules barring the broadcast of
recordings made without knowledge or permission of one of the parties.
In the spot, the teenager offers to sell the tobacco company dog urine
after learning that urea is an ingredient in cigarettes. In its FCC
filing, Lorillard also denied that it uses dog urine in cigarettes.
