Skinny and Sick? - Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids

Skinny and Sick? - Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids: "It's been nearly a century since Lucky Strike first used the slogan 'Reach for A Lucky Instead of A Sweet' and decades since the early Virginia Slims advertising campaign depicted women who smoke as independent, stylish, sexy — and of course slim — to market to women and girls.
But slogans and sophisticated images weren't the only tricks in the tobacco industry's scheme to keep people smoking.
According to a new study published in The European Journal of Public Health, the companies added appetite suppressants to cigarettes 'to enhance the effects of smoking on appetite and body weight' — and to stoke smokers' fears of gaining weight if they quit."
