Women’s
Issues
Welcome
to our Women’s Issues section.
The tobacco companies utilize an incredible array of
techniques, tactics and consumer products, including fashion accessories, garments and the
insinuation of “beauty” and being “chic,” to “lure” young
girls and young women into the ranks of “new” smoker.
If
you are a young girl, young female adult, female adult or elderly female, the tobacco
companies are stalking you.
Most
female magazines and publications accept advertisement money from the tobacco companies,
thus providing millions of exposures to cigarette brand advertisements each and every day
to young children, boys and girls alike.
Publications
including TV Guide that states that one of the main reasons they accept ad money from the
tobacco companies is because their readers are “adults.”
Many
Moms’ will take exception to THAT statement as their daughters read about their
favorite soap stars, television and cable movie listings there.
Although
this section will continue to grow and illustrate more methods used by the tobacco
companies to entrap young girls into smoking thinking, somehow, that they will look
beautiful, chic, cool or whatever…this section provides adequate content to
illustrate some of the consumer products and marketing tactics used in that very process.
