You are a target!
The tobacco industry spends billions of pounds worldwide advertising and promoting tobacco products, in particular encouraging young people to try and take up smoking though product placement in shop fronts, at point of sale, on TV, in music videos and in movies.
They call you ‘replacement smokers’!
Because so many smokers die prematurely, replacement smokers are needed. The Tobacco Industry needs to recruit over 100,000 new smokers every year in England alone in order to replace those who have quit or died from their habit.
Most people start smoking before the age of 18, and almost a quarter of these individuals begin using tobacco before the age of 10. The younger children are when they first try smoking, the more likely they are to become regular tobacco users and the less likely they are to quit.
Don’t be a target; refuse to take up the costly and deadly habit. If you are interested to know more, check out these websites:
