Don't stand for advertising to kids

01/20/2007 -


Big Tobacco spends BILLIONS in marketing every year. Ads geared to kids range from unbelieveably blatant, like this one from the '40s, to somewhat more subtle ones that you'll see today. However, if you pay attention, you'll see many that are geared to youth, with themes like technology, sex, music, candy, cartoons, and sports.

Send a message to magazines that print these ads by ripping them out and sending them back to the company with the note "I don't read magazines that advertise tobacco to kids."

They'll get the message.
