Tobacco is a deadly product, and more than 40 million people in the U.S. are addicted. The tobacco industry makes billions of dollars off its use and the suffering of their consumers. But they don't care about the ones dying; they only care about getting new ones hooked.
In 1978, Lorillard Tobacco Company was quoted as saying, "The base of our business is the high school student." More than 30 years later, it is business as usual for Big Tobacco - they have just released a new product that looks strikingly like candy. It looks so much like candy that in a 2009 survey of 2,400 youth across Utah, over 80% did not think the package contained tobacco.
Preliminary research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that these new products contained alarming ingredients found in insecticides and fungicides, and higher nicotine levels than a regular cigarette.
