La nicotina es un veneno altamente adictivo y una neurotoxina especialmente peligrosa para los cerebros en desarrollo de los jóvenes.
El Mundo de Fantasía de la Industria del Tabaco
La industria del tabaco trata de vendernos un futuro sin cigarrillos donde los vapes son una “alternativa más segura”. Es un engaño peligroso y mortal.
La Pequeña Gran Mentira
Las colillas de cigarrillo están hechas de microplásticos.11 Los microplásticos son fibras tóxicas muy pequeñas que contaminan nuestro medio ambiente y pudieran hacernos daño a todos.121314
Sin tabaco con sabores se salvarán vidas.
Una nueva ley da fin a la venta de casi todo el tabaco con sabores, incluyendo vapes y mentolados, protegiendo a California de una adicción mortal.
Vender tabaco con sabores ahora es ilegal.
Una nueva ley prohíbe la venta de casi todo el tabaco con sabores en California, incluyendo vapes y mentolados. Cúmplela, evita multas y salva vidas.
Como la industria del tabaco creó una epidemia de vapeo entre la juventud
Los adolescentes tienen 7 veces más probabilidad de vapear que los adultos67 y el 96% usa sabores.8 La nueva ley del tabaco con sabores de California protege a los niños de una vida de adicción mortal.
We Are Not Profit
La industria del tabaco lleva demasiado tiempo matando estratégicamente a las comunidades de color con sus cigarrillos mentolados910. La nueva ley del tabaco con sabores de California se limita a los vendedores de tabaco, no a la gente que lo usa.
