Big Tobacco Industry

The “Big Tobacco” industry has a history of deception, including denying the dangers of smoking, marketing to children, and manipulating public perception to prioritize profits over public health.
More people die every year from smoking than from murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes, and alcohol combined.
Big tobacco has a history of targeting children and minority populations with their products.
Black communities have been targeted with menthol cigarettes and children are targeted with colorful, fruity flavors to entice them to vape.
