The Boycott Against Tobacco Companies

The Right Way to Boycott Tobacco

Remember the keys to a successful boycott.

A Clear Issue:  
The immoral activities of tobacco companies.

A Visible Target:
The target is the tobacco companies and their products, both tobacco and non-tobacco. See Tobacco Companies and Their Non-Tobacco Products.

Clear Alternatives:
The goal is to create a personal boycott of all the products of tobacco companies (tobacco and non-tobacco) and support the removal of any investment in tobacco companies.  There are many alternatives both in consumer products and investments.

Visibility of Violations:
Share your boycott and information with others.  Tell others at home, at work, and especially when you go shopping.

An Organized Effort:
Support “The Conscientious Consumer Actions Against Tobacco” points and contact your elected governmental officials, join anti-tobacco organizations, and be a personal advocate to people you know and meet.

The Resolution

Once the tobacco companies accept and abide the Koop-Kessler Committee recommendations (and the added Conscientious Consumer’s recommendations), conscientious consumers may choose to stop their personal boycotts.
