It is not immoral to work for a tobacco company. Though if you are really against smoking, maybe you shouldn't take the job. If its something that's going to make you feel bad over the long run, the money isn't worth it.

Also, if you're doing something that you think makes you a bad role model for your girls, well then maybe you shouldn't. Imagine if you found one of them at 16 with a pack of smokes in their room... and you punished them... then she comes back and says, "well you work for them, so don't yell at me"....

I see the dilemma here. Personally, I can't stand smoking. The smell, everything about it bugs me. But I wouldn't look down on someone who worked for the company. Everyone has to make a living and the product is legal.

The fact that you'd be in marketing though... maybe you aren't the right candidate?
