For #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we must “unmask the appeal” of tobacco & nicotine products. Behind the flavors, sleek packaging, and influencer marketing is the same business model: addiction for profit.

This #WorldNoTobaccoDay, ASH joins our partners in shining a light on all the tactics the tobacco industry uses to addict and maintain their customers.

Tobacco products kill when used exactly as intended. They should not be sold.

Tobacco and nicotine companies deliberately design their products to hook you.

Sugars, flavours, and cooling agents all mask the harshness of nicotine so you inhale more, and get addicted faster.

"This strong rejection is the direct result of intense lobbying by the Tobacco industry, who have been working to prevent restrictions on one of the most dangerous and deadly products for human health – their only concern being their own financial gain."

"The evidence suggests that, like advertising, CSR messaging can be used by tobacco companies to shape consumer perceptions, support marketing goals, and potentially spread misinformation or disinformation—all while enhancing the companies’ public image."
