담배 기업은 사람과 지구 보호에 관심 있는 척합니다. 실제로 관심 있는 것은 모두 이익뿐입니다.49 당신의 분노를 표출하시고 변화를 만드십시오.
작고 큰 거짓말
담배 기업의 담배꽁초에 대한 거짓말은 미세 플라스틱으로 우리의 건강과 지구를 위협하고 있습니다4
담배 기업은 담배 필터가 흡연을 더 안전하게 하지 않는 것을 줄곧 알고 있었습니다.12 담배꽁초는 미세 플라스틱 섬유로 만들어져 거의 아무것도 걸러내지 못합니다.3 흡연하지 않더라도, 담배 기업의 필터 사기는 우리 모두를 위험에 빠뜨립니다. 담배 폐기물의 미세 플라스틱은 전 세계와 바로 여기 캘리포니아의 토양, 음식, 물을 오염시키고 있습니다.56 연구에 따르면 우리 몸 안에 미세 플라스틱이 흡수되면 장 손상, 불임 그리고 DNA 돌연변이 발생과 관련이 있다고 합니다.60561
담배 기업은 세계적인 플라스틱 위기를 더 악화시키고 있습니다.8 그들의 거짓말에 대해 책임을 물어야 합니다.
사실
담배 기업의 필터에 대한 거짓말은 가장 치명적인 사기일 수도 있습니다.56
담배 기업은 이익을 위해 진실을 무시하고 있으며, 담배 필터에 대한 그들의 거짓말은 역사상 가장 치명적인 것 중 하나일 수 있습니다.19 그들은 심지어 위험한 입자로부터 폐를 보호할 수 있다고 사람들을 속이기 위해 색이 변하는 필터를 개발하는 데 시간과 돈을 투자했습니다.1019 그러나 필터는 거의 아무것도 걸러내지 못하기 때문에 완전한 속임수였습니다.13
담배 기업은 의도적인 거짓말로 인해 이미 수많은 사람이 병에 걸리거나 사망했습니다.1 이제 미세 플라스틱 담배꽁초는 특히 위험한 유형의 담배 오염 유발하기 때문에 우리는 위험에 처해 있습니다.1
미세 플라스틱 담배꽁초는 우리를 위험에 빠뜨립니다.
담배꽁초는 청소하기에는 너무 작은 수천 개의 미세 플라스틱 섬유로 만들어져 어디에나 존재할 수 있습니다.4 담배 기업은 매년 6조 개의 소위 ‘필터’가 달린 담배를 생산하기 때문에 놀랄 일이 아닙니다.12 담배꽁초 안의 플라스틱은 어떻게 생분해되나요? 그것이 문제입니다. 생분해되지 않습니다.13 이것이 바로 담배 기업이 세계 플라스틱 위기의 일등 공신이 된 이유이기도 합니다.8
사기 #2: 담배 기업은 색이 변하는 필터로 소비자를 오도합니다.68
담배 기업은 필터가 담배를 더 안전하게 만들지 못한다는 것을 줄곧 알고 있었습니다.12 그리고 그들은 필터가 실제로 담배를 더 부드러운 맛으로 만들어 “더 건강한” 것처럼 보이게 하고 사람들이 더 깊게 흡입할 수 있도록 만든다는 사실을 발견했습니다.13 담배 기업은 새로운 고객을 확보할 기회를 잡았고, 이미 위험한 “더 안전한 담배“ 사기를 두 배로 늘리기 위해 더 많은 시간, 돈, 자원을 투자했습니다.3334
1950년대에 R.J. 레이놀즈의 클로드 티그라는 화학자가 필터를 흰색에서 갈색으로 바꾸는 ”티그 필터"를 개발했습니다.29 색의 변화는 사람들을 속였고, 담배에 있는 독성 화학물질로부터 그들의 폐를 보호한다고 믿게 했습니다.2
사기 #3: 그린워싱. 담배 오염이 환경에 해를 끼친다는 사실을 부인했습니다.13
위험
담배꽁초의 미세 플라스틱이 여러분이나 사랑하는 사람을 아프게 할 수 있다고 생각하면 정말 무서운 일입니다. 다음은 담배 기업의 위험한 거짓말로 인해 우리가 직면한 위험 중 일부를 소개합니다.
미세 플라스틱은 음식과 물을 오염시키고 있습니다
미세 플라스틱은 우리 몸 안에 있을 수 있습니다
미국인들이 연간 약 수십만 개의 미세 플라스틱 입자를 섭취한다는 것은 놀라운 일이 아닐 수 없습니다. 최근 연구에 따르면 인간의 폐, 태반과 혈액에서 미세 플라스틱이 발견되었습니다. 미세 플라스틱은 불임 문제, 장기 손상, 심지어 DNA 돌연변이와 관련이 있습니다.
담배 기업에 책임을 묻습니다
기만적인 담배 기업으로 인한 피해에 분노를 표현하십시오. 의견을 표출하시면 변화를 만들 수 있습니다.
