Tobacco Advertising and Marketing

TOBACCO MARKETING TO YOUNG PEOPLE
http://www.ibiblio.org/boutell/infact/youth.html
 The tobacco industry loses close to 5,000 customers every day in the US alone including 3,500 who manage to quit and about 1,200 who die. The most promising "replacement smokers" are young people. To find their new customers, every day US tobacco companies spend $11 million to advertise and promote cigarettes--more than the US Federal Office on Smoking and Health spend to prevent smoking in an entire year.
