當加州在前領路,全美其他各地就跟隨在後。在對抗煙草商所造成的致命病態流行方面,我們加州自然也不例外。在過去數十年中,我們將成年人的吸煙率降低60%以上、青少年的電子煙使用率達到全美最低、肺癌罹患率削減42%,並已拯救超過一百萬名加州居民免於與煙草相關的死亡,更已有兩個加州城市終止販售煙草產品,打造出更健康的社區。
儘管我們獲得巨大的進展,但煙草商仍然對我們社區的健康構成緊迫威脅,尤其對孩子們更是如此。煙草業加倍致力推行他們的商業模式,也就是通過讓年輕人對電子煙及尼古丁口含煙袋等產品上癮來牟取利潤。他們在網上及社交媒體上針對孩子為目標,誤導他們認為尼古丁無害的。雖然加州的青少年電子煙使用率已經是全美最低,但電子煙仍是最常被使用的煙草產品,目前有6%的高中生吸電子煙,而加州高中生中尼古丁口含煙袋的使用率更在一年內幾乎翻倍。
現在正是打破煙草商在我們家庭及社區所造成毀滅性循環的關鍵時刻,我們需要您能出手相助。我們有能力為孩子們創造更美好的未來,而這要從阻止煙草商用上癮、疾病和死亡來侵害他們開始。有了您的領導,我們就可以逆轉煙草商所造成的這場致命病態流行。
順頌 時祺,

煙草商希望我們認為販賣會造成破壞、讓人患病及致死的產品,是一件完全正常的事,但這當然不正常!請發佈推文以發聲表達你的憤怒,因為現在正是時候應該轉變為新的常態。
我關心以下議題
現在是時候終結煙草業令我們孩子對已知會破壞身心健康的產品終身上癮,因為這一切全是為了讓煙草業自身獲利。千萬別被煙草商的宣傳所蒙蔽愚弄,尼古丁其實會毒害大腦。 #尼古丁等於毒害大腦 undo.org/zh/addicting-kids
