Tobacco use in movies has increased 57% since 2010, a new @CDCgov study shows. And data shows that seeing smoking on the big screen makes kids more likely to do it. That's why we support a mandatory R-rating for these movies. https://t.co/FP5hE3V2Fz

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

I’ve heard some marijuana advocates ask, why are you so concerned about a natural, “god made” plant. Well, besides opium and cocaine also being derived from “natural” plants, God/ Mother Nature didn’t make 25% THC cannabis, nor MJ gummies or vapes, which ⬆️ Danger for kids!

92% of TV shows across broadcast, cable and streaming that are most popular with young people feature tobacco prominently. That’s a 16% increase since our report last year and it's likely putting those young people at greater risk of becoming smokers. https://t.co/IAArBKDQMG

We surveyed 1,500+ teachers and administrators of middle and high schools across the U.S. to find out what they’re doing in response to JUUL and the youth e-cigarette epidemic. Here’s what we found out. https://t.co/4JiIadIKCM
