No Smoke Software - Villains
Do you resent all the tobacco company dirty tricks you've been hearing
about? You should. This section lets you actually do something about it. As the cigarette
travels across the screen, you get to stomp it out with a giant foot. Watch out -- it's
not easy to catch. Each time you click the stomp button, another nasty fact about the
villains appears. Some examples are below. Each time your boot actually hits the
cigarette, part of the "Dy-Quik" Corporation factory disappears, until it's all
gone.
- "The tobacco industry breaks its own code by placing billboards within 500 feet of
schools and playgrounds."
- "Smoking advertising persists in linking smoking to economic success and sex
appeal."

you saw a healthy, energetic smoker?"
- "The cigarette makers hook 60% of their customers before they are 14 years
old."
- "The cigarette industry uses its "efforts" to keep kids from smoking to
present smoking to kids as the "adult" thing to do. This promotes smoking among
young people."
- "The tobacco industry does virtually nothing to prevent retailers from selling
cigarettes to minors. They say it's the retailers' responsibility to comply with the
law."
- "Smoking by teenagers has risen 10% since the camel cartoon character came on the
scene."
- "The tobacco industry loses 5000 customers a day. 3500 quit, the other 1500 die.
They spend huge amounts of money trying to make up for these losses."
- "Each year, American cigarette companies spend $11 million on advertising and
promotion."
- "Cigarette companies are getting people in third world countries hooked by linking
smoking to the glamorous "American" life style."

concerts and discos in Eastern Europe and give out free gifts to the kids who accept the
cigarettes."
- "At a high school in Buenos Aires, a woman wearing khaki safari gear hands out free
cigarettes to 15- and 16-year-olds on their lunch recess."
- "Cigarette companies sponsor rock concerts and sporting events (with large
audiences of young people) to get around broadcast advertising bans."
- "Tobacco companies increase demand and brand exposure by selling clothing and other
fashionable products, mostly to young people."
- "Children all over the third world are given clothing imprinted with cigarette
brand logos."
- "Every day in the USA, more than 3,000 teenagers start smoking regularly, and more
girls than boys are starting."
- "Four out of five teenagers admit to buying cigarettes as a result of tobacco
company promotions."
- "Per capita cigarette consumption in the developing world has risen on average by
more than 70% during the last 25 years due to tobacco industry campaigns."
- "After American tobacco companies came on the scene, smoking rates among male
Korean teenagers rose from 18% to 30% in just one year. The rate in teenaged girls
increased from less than 2% to nearly 9%."
- "Tobacco lobbies have used "free trade issues" to force the American
government to open up foreign markets all over the world to American cigarettes."
- "Can you believe it? The tobacco industry still DENIES the connection between
smoking and illness. They tell us "the facts aren't all in."
- "Studies have found that the more cigarette advertising a magazine carries, the
less likely it is to publish anti-smoking articles. And cigarette advertising is still the
#2 generator of magazine ad revenues."
