Boycott Vanity Fair Magazine

As shown above, Vanity Fair magazine is knowingly assisting the nicotine addiction industry in ensuring that America's #1 killer - chemical dependency upon smoking nicotine - remains America's #1 killer. It knows that youth and young adults read Vanity Fair and it also knows that roughly 90% of adult smokers became hooked while children or teens.

It accepts nicotine addiction industry money while being fully aware that the ads it runs, advertisements such as the one above, are highly effective in helping lure children, teens and young adults into a lifetime of neurochemical slavery. It knows that, according to Philip Morris, "symptoms of addiction (having strong urges to smoke, feeling anxious or irritable, or having unsuccessfully tried not to smoke) can appear in teens and preteens within ... only days after they become 'occasional' smokers."

Vanity Fair is fully aware that the above ad is false and extremely deceptive in that 90% of adult smokers are already chemically addicted to smoking nicotine under DSM III mental health standards. It knows that they are not driven to smoke because of flavor or taste but because they must - because it hurts badly when they don't.

It knows that year after year CDC surveys find that roughly 70% of smokers want to quit but can't. It knows that the vast majority of the dollars it accepted for the above ad were involuntary paid by dependent smokers living on a fast track of decay, disease, trying, failing, crying, dying and death. It knows that addiction to smoking nicotine is so gripping that roughly half of adult smokers actually smoke themselves to death, each an average of 13 to 14 years early. What logic or economic sense does it make to help cause loyal readers to stop reading fourteen years early?

This web page will remain active so long as Vanity Fair continues to assist in chemically enslaving America. We ask for your help in making Vanity Fair pay a price for its role in helping hook youth and young adults. Encourage family, friends, physicians, and businesses to cancel their subscriptions to Vanity Fair. Remove the ads before they work their horrible harms if possible. Also, encourage responsible corporations to spend their advertising dollars in placing ads in responsible magazines.

The objective isn't to destroy Vanity Fair readership but to influence enough readers so as to help motivate the publishers and editors to seriously reflect upon their contribution to America's neurochemical freedom, health and life expectancy. Together we can make a difference!
