Overview
In the current climate landscape, students are often at the forefront of advocating for environmental issues. With tobacco companies attempting to rebrand to younger generations through “greenwashing” tactics and by producing more “smokeless” products, it is important to raise awareness among students about the toxic environmental legacy of commercial tobacco. Messaging consistent with youth concerns about the environment could be an opportunity to discourage youth use of tobacco products.
