Mič Zeler (Mitch Zeller): Prošlost, sadašnjost i budućnost zavisnosti od nikotina

Prošlost, sadašnjost i budućnost zavisnosti od nikotina

Upotreba duvana je i dalje vodeći uzrok sprečivih bolesti i smrtnih slučajeva, i ubija više ljudi svake godine od alkohola, side, saobraćajnih nesreća, ilegalnih droga, ubistava i samoubistava zajedno. Krenite sa stručnjakom za zdravstvenu politiku, Mičom Zelerom, u mutne dubine duvanske industrije dok detaljno opisuje jezivu istoriju zavisnosti od nikotina i poziva nas da zamislimo svet u kome promena zakona sprečava da ljudi postanu zavisni.

Cigarettes remain the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, killing more people annually than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined. Even as smoking rates fall, the industry’s deep history of denial and manipulation persists, with 480,000 Americans dying each year from tobacco use. Industry documents reveal cigarettes were always designed as efficient drug delivery devices for nicotine addiction. Bold policy can break the deadly cycle for future generations.
