Need help with educating the importance of THR in reducing the smoking demand.

[h=5]Hey guys, in my Economics class there was a paragraph in one of the chapters regarding decreasing the smoking rate using the Prohibitionist way of thinking. It stated that the only way to reduce smoking was to increase the health warnings on cigarettes and TV ads, as well as increasing taxes on cigarettes. I need your help in educating my class. https://www.facebook.com/groups/143...ment_id=144844182337501&notif_t=group_comment[/h]They still think that all smokeless tobacco products cause throat cancer. I listed a few studies and a link to CASAA's website, but coming from one person is not enough. I need lots of people to vouch for the accuracy of my statements.

Many mistakenly think nicotine causes cancer, rather than the smoke

Give him some data and show him how ignorant he is if he argues with you

Thanks for the links! I posted several studies, but I still need more people to back me up. It doesn't mean much when only one person is posting. Several other students are coming forth with their false assumptions on THR, and the reason why cigarette sales dropped.
