The World Health Organization (WHO) just issued a new report exposing the tobacco industry's tactics to hook kids for life.

'It's dishonest to talk about harm reduction when they are marketing to children,' Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. Check out the report👇 #TobaccoExposed exposetobacco.org/news/tobacco-t…
