For decades, the tobacco industry has misled the public through deceptive marketing and outright falsehoods — including new efforts to promote e-cigarettes to young people.

Through stricter enforcement of shipping regulations and a ban on all online sales of these products, we can help put an end to youth e-cigarette use.

"Black Americans and other populations targeted by the tobacco industry – including LGBTQ individuals, women, youth, and those living with mental health conditions – have long faced a disproportionate burden from tobacco-related diseases and death."

Cravings knocking on the door? Time to crank up the volume and cue the playlist therapy!🎧 Every song is a step away from nicotine's call, and crafting a playlist to outlast those cravings can be a great distraction. Turn up the tunes and drown out the cravings. 🎶💪#TobaccoFree

"Approximately 101,300 of the 125,070 lung cancer deaths (81%) in 2024 will be caused by cigarette smoking directly." — @AmericanCancer

The Biden Admin can't conquer cancer without standing up to Big Tobacco and eliminating menthol cigarettes. #CancerMoonshot

“E-cigarette use rates rose at higher rates among lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth compared to heterosexual youth. I was one of those queer youth represented in these studies.”

February is Black History Month. CYAN will be celebrating by amplifying Black voices and artists, and sharing information on how tobacco has impacted Black communities throughout the month of February.

[Take Down Tobacco @TakeDownTobacco]

Big Tobacco’s in partnership talks with Juul but it’s not shocking at all. Juul’s relentless marketing fueled the youth vaping epidemic & enough is enough! It's time for these products to be taken off the market for good to protect youth. #TakeDownTobacco
