This Halloween, Tell Children About REAL Monsters
Cigarette Companies Enslave and Kill Far More Than
Dracula
Folklore says that vampires, the most frightening of all
Halloween monsters,
gradually enslave people by biting their necks, and
eventually cause them to
suffer a long and lingering death.
While parents assure their young children that vampires
are only imaginary,
they can also use the occasion to warn kids about the real
monsters who
really do try to enslave them, and do cause long and
lingering deaths.
These monsters are, of course, tobacco company executives,
who begin
enslaving children as young as 9 or 10 to nicotine, a drug
we adults now
know is a neurotoxin as addictive as cocaine or heroin for
many people.
While even Count Dracula, the most fearsome of all
vampires, could enslave
only a few dozen people at a time, tobacco companies
enslave thousands of
young children every single day.
Of these, about half will die as a result of their
addiction to nicotine,
and many more will endure long suffering while connected
to artificial
respirators, life support machines, and other devices.
Books and movies rarely depicted vampires targeting
children, presumably
because it would be too gruesome or too monstrous to show.
But we know -
from their own previously-secret documents about cigarette
manufacturers
planning to capitalize on handicapped third-graders,
developing cigarettes
specially geared to the youth market, and deliberately
locating cigarettes
near candy displays in stores - that tobacco companies
have no such
compunctions.
Ironically, says Professor John Banzhaf, Executive
Director of Action on
Smoking and Health (ASH), these monsters continue to
engage in a wide
variety of activities designed to lure children as well as
adults into
becoming enslaved on a magnitude that Court Dracula could
not possibly begin
to imagine.
Unfortunately, their tactics seem to be working, because
many pre-teens and
teens continue to become addicted every day. So, suggests
ASH, parents
should take the opportunity and interest afforded by
Halloween to explain to
young children that vampires and other monsters do not
exist, but that there
are real monsters who will try to enslave them as they
grow older if they
are not very careful.
