Big Tobacco is trying to blow smoke in the faces of teenage girls. They target us through advertising and other promotions. Tobacco companies have even created "skinny" cigarettes just for women. They want us to think that smoking will make us cooler, prettier and thinner. But we know better.
It's just so apparent. All the tobacco advertising targeted to women makes an association with independence and beauty. Do the women you see smoking look like that? Get real!
In reality, there is just the plain ugly truth of smoking: How attractive are stained teeth, bad breath and stinky hair and clothes? Check out
Beauty Patrol, which will get you up close and personal with what smoking can do to your appearance. If you want to dig deeper into tobacco facts and the tobacco industry, read more in
Let's Face It. You can also calculate all the stuff you could buy if you didn't spend money on smoking in
Money Talks.
Show Big Tobacco that you're too smart, healthy and attractive to start smoking. Why ruin a good thing?
