Rock n Raise Tobacco Prices in Allston/Brighton on Flickr.
Given what we know about the health consequences of smoking or using tobacco products, I am on-board for legislation to increase taxes on tobacco products and hope that tobacco use would decrease as a result.

For Daisy, who is working at Health Resources in Action, the “Face Off Against Tobacco” campaign is important as a step to prevent youth from smoking. The quote she is holding up does not surprise her at all:
“When I worked with young people in Roxbury, we surveyed storefront windows on how much tobacco advertisement they have. We found a lot of advertisements that were really colorful, looked like cartoons and candy advertisement, but in fact were for tobacco products. In addition, they were displayed two feet and below so that especially young people could look at them. This was a very concerning thing! We know that advertisement works and therefore this quote is not surprising. The tobacco industry needs to stop targeting young people!” -

“Learning about Big Tobacco’s tactics to market to young people by making their products too attractive, too cheap, and too easy to get makes me fired up and ready to work against this!”

Here at BPHC we focus on eliminating health inequities. Smoking is directly connected to Asthma, which disproportionately affects people of color. I support this campaign because it seeks to change a public health policy that will result in decreasing a prevalent health inequity.

“I started smoking with 14 years and if there is one thing I would like to do, it would be going back in a time machine to when I was 14 and tell myself to put it down and not start. It was so hard to quit smoking!”

I support the “Face Off Against Tobacco” Campaign on Flickr.
“I care about this- fighting against tobacco- because I have my brothers and my mother that I care about. I don’t want that one day, my sister or brother will start to smoke. I am trying to defend my brother with this very good campaign that I am working on. I would like that my government increases the tobacco prices. Also, I would like to give people some advice about how dangerous tobacco is, and our campaign would help them. The opportunity that we offer is to increase the tobacco price- which would stop many young people from smoking as much.” ~Message from the youth taking this photograph

“I have a little sister and I don’t want her to get exposed to tobacco or any other tobacco products; I don’t want to see her involved or addicted to tobacco. I support an increase in the tax of tobacco products because it would change people’s ideas of buying it.” ~ Youth photographer’s words

I vote YES to increase OTP prices. on Flickr.
This campaign is about keeping other tobacco products out of sight and behind store counters and also about increasing the prices of tobacco products. I care about this project because I don’t want my family and my cousin or brothers to start using it. I don’t like when I see young people buying blunts or other tobacco products. I would like to give good advice, like don’t buy tobacco- you can buy food with that money.

Hello everyone,
My name is Astrid, and I am a community organizer at the Hyde Square Task Force. I took this picture because we have a tobacco campaign taking place and I wanted to tell you about it. Our expectations and desire is to have other tobacco products behind store counters and out of sight, meaning that when an individual/customer steps up to the counter, they wouldn’t be able to see it and would have to ask for it to purchase it. This way, we feel like it would intimidate youth in having to ask for something rather than just pointing at it. Also, kids won’t grow up around these colorful packaged deadly habits. I am worried of where our next generation will be and it’s our job (the youth of this generation) to guide them through the right path. -
