Now more than ever, to***co companies are targeting young people with flashy products in kid-friendly flavors and with aggressive marketing campaigns on platforms like Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.

According to the WHO, children are using e-cigarettes at rates higher than adults in all regions, and an estimated 37 million young people aged 13-15 use to***co. These trends must not continue.

That's why the WHO has set the theme of this year's World No To***co Day as ***coExposed: to shine a bright light on how this industry continues to target and addict kids.

Making to***co taste like mint is a dangerous trick to attract young people. Every day 2,500 kids under 18 in the U.S. try their first cigarette. In Wisconsin alone, over 10,200 kids will light up their first cigarette this year. We need to protect our children from being lured into harmful habits. Say no to menthol and flavored to***co!
