23 Why Consider a Tobacco- Free Campus Policy?

24 Why Adopt a Tobacco-Free Campus Policy? Secondhand Smoke Environmental Impact of Tobacco Litter Tobacco Industry Targeting YOUR Students Tobacco Use Regulations Decrease Rates of Tobacco Use The Trend is Toward Tobacco-Free

25 Why Focus on Colleges?

26 Tobacco and College Students The 1998 Master Settlement Agreement (MSA), prohibits tobacco companies from targeting youth under 18, this has caused them to shift their marketing expenditures dramatically to focus on young people between the ages of 18 and 25 A 2008 National Cancer Institute report concludes that tobacco industry advertising and promotion is causally linked to increased use and youth smoking initiation

27 Tobacco and College Students In 2001, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that 27.9% of year olds in the United States smoke, compared with 23.5% of all adults In a 2001 survey, 30% of college students reported being current tobacco users Almost 40% of college students either began smoking (11.0%) or became regular smokers (28.0%) after starting college

28 Tobacco and College Students Of the over 70.0% of college students who have ever tried smoking, nearly half continue on to become regular smokers 10% of current college students will die of tobacco-related illnesses

29 How Is the Tobacco Industry Influencing College Students?

30 Tobacco Industry Advertising Internet Advertising Ads targeting Young Adults Magazines Stores Targeted Mailings

31 What are the 3 most heavily marketed brands of tobacco? Marlboro Camel Newport

32

33 Tobacco Industry Sponsorship Music Events Campus Events Sponsoring Greek events Athletics Arts on and off campus

34

35

36 Sampling/Bar Promotions Tobacco company bar and nightclub promotions target young adults Tobacco companies entice bar owners with financial incentives and bar paraphernalia They also recruit new smokers with cigarettesponsored sweepstakes, contests and even hire people to mingle with the crowd to promote their brands and products

37

38 What Can YOU Do? Discussion
