DEATH AT A DISCOUNT <br />Tobacco companies send coupons <br />in birthday cards, pass them out <br />at events and bars, promote them <br />inside stores, and send emails <br />and text alerts through their <br />smartphone apps. <br />This customer only paid $2 for two <br />packs of American Spirit cigarettes. <br />Without the coupon, the customer <br />would have paid $19.98. <br />DISCOUNTED TOBACCO ONLY <br />BENEFITS THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY. <br />Tobacco coupons and discounts make it more likely young people will become addicted to tobacco and less likely current smokers will be able to quit. Young and low income smokers are more likely to use tobacco coupons or promotions. <br />TAKE ACTION! <br />WE CAN STOP THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY FROM TARGETING OUR COMMUNITIES <br />WITH CHEAP TOBACCO. <br />Cities CAN and SHOULD prevent the redemption of tobacco coupons to help people quit smoking and prevent <br />people from starting. <br />www.DontDiscountMyLife.org <br />Association for Nonsmokers-Minnesota <br />2395 University Ave. W, Suite 310, Saint Paul MN 55114 <br />References available at: DontDiscountMyLife.org <br />(December 2018) <br />THE TOBACCO <br />INDUSTRY USES <br />COUPONS TO KEEP <br />PRICES LOW. <br />36
