Tobacco products cause Cancer — that’s why they’re required to carry a warning label.  Of course that hasn’t stopped Big T from advertising smokeless tobacco products as “safer alternatives” to cigarettes.  But seriously Big T, we can see your nose growing with every lie. And FACT (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco) is here to expose all of your dirty little secrets.
 
FACT is a youth-led movement dedicated to exposing Big T’s lies and empowering teens to take a stand. It was started in 2001 by a group of 300 Wisconsin youth and has been growing ever since. Every time someone joins FACT we show Big T that one more person will not fall for their tricks. So why not be that one more person? Join FACT today. Check out their link on our profile.

Once you begin using tobacco products, it can be tough to quit. That’s because Big Tobacco puts loads of addictive nicotine in their products. Of course, how else would they keep generations of people using their deadly products? Nobody would ever say that quitting is easy, but hey, nothing worth doing ever is. If you’ve fallen into the trap set by Big Tobacco and want to quit, there are lots of places to get help. The first step to quitting is learning how. If you’d like free coaching, you can call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to talk to a quitting specialist. Or, check out the Not On Tobacco link on our profile for more help to quit for good. These groups keep your information confidential and can show you the best way to start living life addiction free. Remember, every person who quits using tobacco products helps us gain ground in the battle against Big T.

Hey, it’s great that we’re getting smart, but Big Tobacco is starting to realize that we know cigarettes and chew are gross and kill people. Their solution? Smokeless, spitless tobacco; all the nicotine with none of the gross — and they’re packaging it to look like breath fresheners and candy. Leave it to the tobacco industry to make something so innocent-looking yet so dangerous. But are we really going to buy into the idea that products like Snus, Orbs, Strips and Sticks are safe alternatives to cigarettes and traditional chew? Didn’t think so. These products contain high amounts of nicotine and other toxic chemicals that cause addiction, oral cancer, and rotten gums. But you won’t get any of that information from Big Tobacco. It’s a lot harder for them to sell products to people who know how dangerous they are. So stay informed, and inform others. Let’s not be fooled by Big Tobacco’s lies.
