The tobacco companies knew quite early on the addictive nature of their product.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cigars, cigarettes, and hookah tobacco are all smoked tobacco - addictive and deadly. We need effective action to protect our kids from struggling with a lifelong addiction to nicotine.
Because tobacco is responsible for an impressive one-third of cancers, prevention efforts naturally begin with it.
I hate to say it, but, yeah, I'm a tobacco junkie.
Tobacco is the only industry that produces products to make huge profits and at the same time damage the health and kill their consumers.
The history of the tobacco industry is not a positive one.
I've treated so many adults who are desperate - desperate - to get off tobacco. They all started as kids. I see the industry getting another generation of our kids addicted.
People have a misconception that the tobacco epidemic is a thing of the past. Tobacco still kills more Americans than any other cause.
E-cigarette companies are using shameful tactics, such as Joe Camel-like cartoons in advertisements and creating e-cigarette flavors like bubblegum and cotton candy, to addict our children early - and guarantee another generation of smokers.
Three cigarettes in, your body already craves it. It is that addictive.
Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.
