🫡 There is an industry that spends over a million dollars an hour on advertising. And they are constantly looking for younger and newer customers. Do you know why? Because they know that their product kills up to half of its users.
🚬 We’re talking about the tobacco industry.
*The tobacco industry is well aware that their products kill around eight million people globally every year.*
♻️ To sustain their business, they must continuously recruit new users to replace those who die from using their products.
And because their products are so harmful, they must do everything they can to make them attractive, especially to young people.
Here’s how the tobacco industry hooks you:
🍭 Flavors
🎁 Packaging
💋 Advertising
⚠️ Tobacco use harms nearly every organ of the body. It causes heart disease, respiratory conditions, and over 20 types of cancer, including lung cancer. Tobacco is a major risk factor for premature death.
🫶🏾 The good news is that the benefits of quitting can be felt almost immediately!
*Take action.*
*Quit tobacco.*
*Unmask the appeal.*
*Expose the industry.*
