Camel No. 9

Here’s a quick excerpt
Tobacco companies have long preyed on young women and teenage girls with marketing campaigns that associate smoking with female independence, sophistication and beauty.

R. J. Reynolds’ new Camel No. 9 campaign is simply a new spin on an old favorite— if you pick up a recent copy of Vogue, Glamour or Cosmopolitan, you are likely to encounter ads that put a twist on the famous perfume Chanel No.5 and the catchy, romantic song “Love Potion No. 9.”

Today, about 73,000 women in Hawaii smoke, putting them at risk for heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer, emphysema and other life-threatening diseases.
Don’t let your loved one fall victim to pretty packaging and clever adertising. There is nothing glamorous, sophisticated or sexy about smoking cigarettes.
