No posts with label Big Tobacco knows that flavors hook kids. That's why it pays $1 million per minute nationally on colorful store displays of candy-flavored e-cigarettes, cigars, chew and more. Local retailers benefit from this money and help lure kids into addiction with their displays. But one Montana retailer told Big Tobacco "no!" We wanted to share this podcast with you featuring a Montana small business who's taking on Big Tobacco. Mitch Bradley of Heebs East Main Grocery in Bozeman has stopped selling tobacco products in order to fight the industry’s predatory behavior toward teens-even though he feared his decision could hurt his bottom line. (We’re pleased to report it did not.) Inspired by his father’s health battles after a lifetime of tobacco use, Bradley has also become a volunteer advocate in the legislative fight to ban flavored tobacco products in his home state. We hope that hearing this story will inspire other retailers to follow Mitch’s bold lead! Listen to the podcast here.
