Don’t be surprised by what is in your medicine cabinet. If you haven’t used them, don’t need them, or they’re expired, drop them off at a #TakeBackDay collection site near you on Saturday, October 29th, 10am-2pm. https://t.co/IaXnZaG0z7

One way to avoid tobacco misuse is to recognize their manipulations. Tobacco ads sell you on not just the product but also the lifestyle. Cartoon mascots made smoking appear cool to younger audiences for decades. Recognize these tricks and teach your kids to not fall for them.
