Just go into a convenience store and look closely at the advertising. Look at clocks on the walls, stickers on the floor, cigarette racks on the counter. Take a count. The number of references to tobacco will surprise you. That includes smokefree policies for youth sporting events and for awards banquets.
Communities work to make pharmacies tobacco-free.
Some communities appeal to businesses that are concerned with employees' health to set limits on smoking on their premises. Municipal Substance Abuse Prevention Task Forces carry out these community-based projects. Community-based projects make the social environment less conducive to tobacco use by making sure stores do not sell cigarettes to anyone under 18. We must join together and take steps in our own homes and communities. We can stop the exploitation of our children by the tobacco industry, and to be certain that they are not exposed to tobacco smoke anywhere.
