The operative words here are "protested loudly and long." This fight is
going to be a long haul for us in the bf movement. It's not over yet
for the tobacco folks either. Marketing to teens is still a big
problem, and the tobacco folks are still trying to work their way
around that one. That is their customer base. If they don't get people
smoking in their teens, then they've lost them to smoking forever.
We are still at the beginning of our fight. We have to be clear,
supported by ongoing research and stay on message. Our message has to
come out early and often and in many different forms, so that people
hear it many times, in many ways and it becomes part of the background
assumptions about how things work, how they are. It won't be easy, but
we can do it.
