Tobacco Industry Manipulation

 

For years, the tobacco industry has promoted a richer, more glamorous life through smoking. Big tobacco uses cool DJs, hot girls and strong cowboys to hook our young people on a product that kills 1-in-3 smokers. Sadly, Big Tobacco recruits 5,000 Oklahoma kids as “replacement smokers” every year.

This deadly trend is anything but new. Over the last hundred years, the tobacco industry has exerted a growing influence in the United States. Peddling an addictive product, tobacco companies have amassed hundreds of billions of dollars in profits at the expense of public health, lost lives, broken families and untold sorrow. Slowly, the tide is turning. In communities throughout America, organizations and government entities are ratcheting up their battle against tobacco.

Here, you’ll find useful information about the tobacco industry and the tactics it uses to perpetuate its multibillion-dollar global empire. By understanding how tobacco companies market their deadly products, you’ll be better prepared to fight their lies and deception.
