P&G originally launched Febreze by specifically targeting cigarette smokers
“I mean, you go back to an old P&G lesson, Febreze, which is now multi-billion dollar brand, wasn't always that. They made a choice about what kind of people Would find the most benefit, and they started with cigarette smoking.”
