Tobacco-Free Kids Applauds Tyra Banks for Exposing the Ugly Truth Abo...(r the leading cancer killer of women bya...),Health

Date:10/2/2007

r, the leading cancer killer of women, by associating it with fashion and beauty. It is equally outrageous that many fashion magazines have put profit before responsibility by continuing to run these ads, ignoring repeated requests to stop doing so from members of Congress led by U.S. Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) and numerous public health organizations.

Tobacco use is the nation's number one preventable cause of death, killing more than 400,000 Americans every year. We must end the glamorization of smoking, whether by the tobacco industry itself or by the fashion and entertainment industries. Tyra Banks is doing something about it. Her actions are making a difference. And we salute her for it.
