RJR Sets Its Sights on Young Women -- Fight Back
Do you know what's pretty in pink and "light and luscious" -- but kills? This year, R.J. Reynolds (RJR), the second largest tobacco company in the U.S., introduced a new product - Camel No. 9. With its sleek packaging, flowery ads, a pink camel on every cigarette and the slogan, "light and luscious," Camel No. 9 openly targets women, but is also very appealing to girls.
Camel No. 9 has been launched with a huge marketing effort that is estimated to cost between $25 and $50 million. Full-page ads are running in some of the most popular women's magazines, including Vogue, which is also read by 1.4 million young girls. We need your help to protect our kids from a lifetime of tobacco addiction and disease.
Please click the red Campaign button on the right to send Vogue an e-mail and let the editors know how offensive you find both the targeted marketing and their decision to run the ads.
