I have known Patrick since "1993" thru mutual friends and the thing that I always admired about Patrick is his Integrity about the role and responsibilty of the Tobacco Industry in promoting their product to minors. For a guy who was a Jetset teen and young adult, it took a great amount of character & courage to sacrifice the things (money) that are associated with being an heir of a wealthy organization (i.e. keeping your mouth shut) you have issue with.

When I think about all the people i know who either smoke or have smoked, all have always admitted of the known harm they subjected themselves too.

Patrick has made a huge difference in sharing his knowledge of the Tobacco Industries message, and taking a stand to inform young people and older alike what they are exposing themselves too.

I have always appauded him for who he is!!!!!
