Tobacco Products are Sweet, Cheap & Deadly
Sweet
The tobacco industry adds flavors to attract teenagers and it’s working. More than 40% of middle and high school students who smoke use either flavored cigarettes or flavored little cigars.
Cheap
The tobacco industry sells cheap products to manipulate teens to buy and use tobacco. Colorado’s tobacco products are sold at some of the lowest prices in the country.
Deadly
The tobacco industry targets youth with addictive and deadly products that kill 4,300 Coloradans each year. Tobacco is the only consumer product that kills when used as directed.
