Ever notice how you never notice some everyday things that are always
out there?
Take tobacco ads for example.
There are a lot out there; sometimes well over a dozen cigarette ads
just in one store!
And while you might not remember them, kids often do!
In fact, kids recall tobacco ads twice well as adults.
And because their influence encourages kids to start smoking and then
to become regular smokers, tobacco ads are something that should not
go un-noticed.
So ask retailers to cut back on tobacco ads, especially those visible
from outside their store.
Because fewer tobacco ads could mean fewer kids get hooked on tobacco,
and that can help save a life.
For more information about reducing the amount of tobacco advertising in our community and other T-Free efforts to fight tobacco addiction, Google T Free Zone on the web.
A message from Tobacco Free Tompkins and the Tompkins County Health
Department.
Because we cannot afford another generation of tobacco addiction.

A child and adult go to the store.
One will remember the tobacco ads.
Kids recall tobacco ads 2-times better than adults.
Retail ads and price promotions encourage teens to start smoking, and
influence them to become regular smokers.
Fewer tobacco ads could mean fewer teens get hooked on tobacco. And
that can help save a life.
Ask retailers to cut back on tobacco advertising at their store. It’s
part of a community effort to fight tobacco addiction and help teens
beat the tobacco trap.
Everyone pays for tobacco addiction, and everyone can help fight it.
