Smoking causes 400,000 premature deaths annually in the USA and 3 million deaths worldwide. The tobacco industry needs to replace 3000 smokers who die or quit each day, and may target kids to maintain their customer base. Nicotine is highly addictive, and the tobacco industry was aware of nicotine's addictive properties and manipulated nicotine levels in cigarettes. While smoking rates have declined, it remains a major public health problem.

  • #7: http://sddt.com/files/librarywire/96wireheadlines/04_96/DN96_04_03/DN96_04_02_ff.html Teens, however, appeared more responsive - not to every ad, but to eye-catching ones, he argued. For example, Marlboro with its rugged Marlboro Man accounted for 12.7 percent of industry advertising over the 20 years. It won 59.5 percent of the teen smoking market vs. 21.9 percent of the adult market, Pollay reported. Camel accounted for 4.9 percent advertising, and won 8.7 percent of the teen market and 3.7 percent of adults. Newport accounted for 4.7 percent of advertising, and won 11.1 percent of the teen market and 3.8 percent of adults.
