Big tobacco tricks with treats


Mint, cherry, melon, chocolate and grape are the candy flavors many Wisconsin youth will get while trick-or-treating this year. They are also the same flavors used by tobacco companies to fool teens like me into using tobacco. When I found out they were trying to manipulate me and my friends into using tobacco products with their “delicious” flavors, it sounded more “manipulicious” than delicious. Manipulicious is the name of our FACT (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco) group’s latest activism campaign.

FACT was created for and by Wisconsin teens and allows us use our voices and fight back against the tobacco companies. Our Northwestern High School FACT group is doing all we can to spread the word that underneath the colorful wrapping of chewing tobacco, little cigars and other tobacco products you’ll find many of the same old poisonous, cancer causing chemicals as cigarettes. As teens, we are sick of being targets of the tobacco companies and are committed to take a stand and fight with FACT.
