Nicotina es un veneno adictivo y una neurotoxina12
La nicotina es peligrosa para el cerebro de los niños y los jóvenes. Puede amplificar la ansiedad, la depresión, los cambios de ánimo y las dificultades de aprendizaje.3456
Vender tabaco con sabores es ilegal
Una ley prohíbe la venta de casi todo el tabaco con sabores en California, incluyendo vapes y mentolados.7 Sigue la ley, evita multas y salva vidas.
El Mundo de Fantasía de la Industria del Tabaco
La Industria del Tabaco y la nicotina promete que vapear es más “saludable”. 89 Sin embargo, los vapes pueden contener sustancias químicas que causan cáncer, como arsénico, plomo y formaldehído. 1011121314151617181920212223 Es hora de despertar.
La Industria del Tabaco es una de las principales contaminadoras globales24
Las colillas de cigarrillo están hechas de microplásticos. Los microplásticos son fibras tóxicas muy pequeñas que contaminan nuestro medio ambiente.25262728
La ley contra la venta de mentolados salva vidas
Poner fin a la venta de cigarrillos mentolados detiene la estrategia asesina de la Industria del Tabaco contra la comunidad de color, mejorando la equidad en salud para todos.2930 La ley del tabaco con sabores de California se centra en las tiendas de tabaco, no en las personas a las que la industria hace adictas.
