camel tour at ribfest in Indianapolis

Post Credited to American for Non smoker rights, thanks Karla Schlensker Sneegas for noticing.

Tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds was in full force in Indianapolis this weekend with their Camel Tour pavilion at American Rib BBQ Festival. They were busy trying to get Hoosiers up for their database inside a trailer full of iPads, snazzy Camel art, and a gaggle of lovely ladies and gents. Tobacco companies are spending massive amounts of money trying to increase sales of their deadly products. This is an example of why it remains vital for states like Indiana to maintain full funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs – and to enact smokefree laws. The only thing that should be smoked at Rib Fest is the meat.

Neon Trees

Dear Neon Trees and fans of  Neon Trees,

 Are you aware that Java Rockin’ Land in Indonesia is sponsored by a tobacco company Gudang Garam?

Indonesia - Tobacco Sponsored show

In May you stated in an a.v.club website interview “things we didn’t want to be a part of  were alcohol and tobacco campaigns.”

what changed in 2 months? we need you – Neon Trees to stand behind these words and say no to tobacco sponsorships.

Indonesian youth and young adults need your voice.

Please ask for this concert’s  sponsorship to change.
Maroon 5 was in the same situation, but they found an alternative sponsor, pizza hut, and stop a tobacco sponsored event.

Also Neon Trees you were the winners of the 2008 Real Noise anti-tobacco contest.

The award was courtesy of The TRUTH against tobacco.
Neon trees Indonesian youth and young adults’ lives are at stake.
you can help and WE NEED YOUR VOICE!

Camel Snus Print Campaign targets NYC Smoking Ban

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is launching a major ad campaign for Camel SNUS. Print ads touting Camel SNUS will appear in major daily newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, next week.

The timing of the campaign coincides with New York City’s expansion of its smoking ban, which officially begins May 23. “R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s Camel brand wants to make adult smokers in the city aware of a smoke-free tobacco product that’s available to them — Camel SNUS,” said a company spokesman.

The ads were developed to alert smokers that Camel SNUS is a smoke-free option.
