% Stores that Sell Chewing Tobacco

Smokeless tobacco advertising has increased partly due to tobacco use bans. Smokeless is often marketed as a way to “get around” smoking restrictions.

  • Chewing tobacco comes in mint, candy and liquor flavors to

mask the taste of tobacco making them appealing to youth.

  • “Cherry Skoal is for someone who likes the taste of candy, if

you know what I’m saying.” – Former US Smokeless Tobacco Company Sales Representative

  • Chew/dip tobacco is not a safe alternative - toxic chemicals

include nicotine (3x more), formaldehyde and polonium 210 - each can damage gums and cause cancer.

  • Alcopops are sweetened alcoholic beverages, usually

sold in single-serving bottles or cans. Often fruit-flavored

  • r carbonated, they closely resemble soda or energy
  • drinks. Alcopops are considered a public health concern,

because the flavors appeal to youth, the serving sizes are often large, and the alcohol content can be as high as 12.5%.

and 35% of those in the 11th grade report to have used alcohol in the past month.
