Ngành thuốc lá là chúa về sự dối trá15
Ngành thuốc lá được xây dựng dựa trên sự thao túng và dối trá.16 Ngành thuốc lá chi hàng tỷ mỗi năm cho các chiến dịch quảng bá bóng bẩy,17 vận động hành lang chính trị,18 và tài trợ cho nghiên cứu khoa học riêng để họ có thể tiếp tục thu lợi nhuận và tránh trách nhiệm về những thiệt hại mà họ gây ra.19 Họ thao túng nồng độ nicotine trong các sản phẩm thuốc lá để làm tăng cơn nghiện.20 Và khi ung thư phổi có liên quan đến hút thuốc, họ đã tạo ra đầu lọc thuốc lá để lừa mọi người nghĩ rằng thuốc lá của họ an toàn hơn.2122 Giờ đây, ngành công nghiệp không trung thực này cho biết vapes có thể giúp những người hút thuốc bỏ thuốc lá23 trong khi lại tạo ra đại dịch vaping cho giới trẻ.24 Bạn có tin tưởng họ không?
Câu chuyện về sự bất bình đẳng
Khi tiếp thị săn mồi được ngụy trang thành sự đồng cảm và hỗ trợ25, thì việc thu hút những nhóm người bị quên lãng lâu dài trong quá khứ trở nên dễ dàng hơn.
