Posted February 20, 2008 in News | 36 views | 0 comments

The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids has released a new report which outlines the latest tactics of the tobacco industry. This "new generation" of tobacco products and tactics should be interesting to anyone concerned about the future of addiction and death.

An excerpt appears below, along with links to the full report.

Cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and cigars have
been introduced in an array of candy, fruit and alcohol flavors. R.J.
Reynolds' Camel cigarettes, for example, have come in more than a dozen
flavors, including lime, coconut and pineapple, toffee, and mint.
Flavorings mask the harshness of the products and make them appealing to
children.
