Divulge any and all information pertaining to any potentially harmful risk associated with using a particular product, in this case cigarettes. Being totally honest and forthright is the key in this situation. From the government’s point of view, funding research efforts with at least a portion of the profits associated with the sale of cigarettes would be a great start. The price of ethical behavior can be quite costly. In this instance, if the consumers in third world countries were made aware and had a firm understand of the harmful effects of smoking I believe there would be less smokers. That would means less sales, less money for all

In journalism, an ethical dilemma is a complex issue or situation that often involves an emotional and psychological conflict between moral obligations and duties, in which to obey one would transgress the other. Within the media there are many stories that can be deemed an ethical dilemma; some more so than others.

was 35.1 billion dollars. With a product that kills so many of its customers, your only concern in this industry is to increase sales and make a profit.

Ethics can be dangerous to your career. The danger may come not from your own ethics but from the ethics of people around you and the organization of which you are a part. Employees have various moral decisions to make. Many of these decisions should be made on the basis of our moral obligations, but sometimes the morally preferable action could require courage and be performed beyond the call of duty. One defense against involvement in wrongdoing is vocalizing when there are unethical practices being made.
