Big Tobacco is still responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the U.S., including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day.
No product contributes more to the death & disease caused by tobacco than menthol. Menthol increases the number of kids, & especially Black youth, who try the product, become addicted & die prematurely as a result. It's time to clear the air, MD. #MDGA21#PeopleAreNotProfit
Investing in #TobaccoCompanies such as #PhilipMorrisInternational should not be considered an “ethical investment”, as these companies produce and market products that kill over 8 million people each year.
