My Community, My Health

In partnership with WYLN (Westshore Young Leaders) we are promoting “My Community, My Health” and Kick Butt’s Day on March 20, 2019 to help people quit tobacco.

Tobacco’s terrible toll is no accident. It’s a direct result of the tobacco industry’s actions, including marketing that targets kids and deceives people about the harmful effects of their products.

Annually, tobacco companies spent $9.1 billion – $1 million every hour – to market their deadly and addictive products. They target kids because they need “replacement smokers” to take the place of smokers who die or quit.

To attract young people, tobacco companies market cigarettes and other tobacco products as fun, cool and glamorous. While sweet-flavored cigarettes are now banned, tobacco companies continue to market cigar and smokeless tobacco products that are flavored and packaged like candy.

Quitting starts here.
