We Won’t Get High Off Their Lies

Beautiful Lies, Ugly Truth

Video Campaign 2017/2018

Menthol cigarettes are more addicting and dangerous than regular cigarettes and yet the tobacco industry markets them at youth and minority communities especially. "Beautiful Lies, Ugly Truth" is our way of drawing attention to the harms of menthols and making youth voices heard in speaking out against Big Tobacco's targeting of youth and minority communities.
