Ciao a tutti!
Vi riporto una conversazione che ho avuto recentemente con la Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, riguardo al suo prodotto "American Spirit".
Tutto è nato poichè essendo l'American Spirit un tabacco privo di additivi , e la Santa Fe una azienda che non utilizza gli animali nei test, avevo creduto di aver trovato un tabacco "giusto".
Tuttavia sono venuto a sapere che ora è diventata sussidiaria della Reynolds (la compagnia che produce anche le Camel), che EFFETTUA test sugli animali!
Cosa ne pensate? Rispondete numerosi.
E non badate al mio pessimo inglese -.-

Natural American Spirit products have not changed. We continue to offer the exact same additive-free, whole leaf, natural tobacco products that you have come to know and expect. All Natural American Spirit Products continue to be produced in SFNTC’s factory in Oxford, NC, which is dedicated exclusively to Natural American Spirit products, using the same high-quality components and the same carefully selected tobacco.
We started out in 1982 as a very small, privately held business. Over the years, our loyal consumers helped us to grow substantially. Our decision to become an independent subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc. (RAI) in 2002 has afforded us the freedom and the resources to support and expand our ever-growing marketing base, thus offering wider availability of the Natural American Spirit brand to both national and international markets. We continue to operate independently; we’re proud that our culture and our products remain unchanged.

First of all, thanks for the answers.
But, I think there are economic negotiation between you and Reynolds. Or am I saying the false?
Because, buying your products, I don't want to finance Reynolds too.
That's the question.
Dear Fabio,
When you purchase Natural American Spirit tobacco products, you are directly contributing to the growth of Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company.
Best regards,
