Candy right by the wall of tobacco. Pretty hard for kids to ignore. Interesting messaging too - on both the camel and twix products.

These candy cigarettes where found at the 'Largets Candy Store' on Hwy 169 (student submitted photo). This store is where we take our families to go pick a pumpkin for Halloween, purchase apples and of course candy. Do we want our children having the option to choose these candy cigarettes for fun?

Finding 1.99 in my couch cushions is not that difficult. Targeting low SES and kids.

Below the door handle, so someone under 3 feet can see.

Humm... Cheep and isn't that a take off from a presidential campaign?

Snuff on the street at a Drug Store in Duluth near an Alternative School.

My daughter is getting the idea. "They make me want to throw up Mom."

Gas Station in St. Cloud. A child had been standing in front of display. I try for another picture.

Every gas station (but one!) in our town had this SNUS ad on their doors, same spot on every door... low!

Tobacco products right at eye level of childeren in their line of sight, just above the check-out counter. Look at all the pretty colors.

I couldn't even walk into my local gas station without walking through party streamers hanging down to the floor from some sort of nicotine infused death-mint "SNUS" they are apparently selling now.

Another example of tobacco advertising placement at the eye level of children.

Milk, gas and cigarettes. What is the message here? What would a "visitor from another planet" conclude from this scene about the importance of cigarettes in our society?

I couldn't believe it when I saw this tobacco ad directly at eye-level of my kids. It was located right below their favorite candy and there was even Bubblegum cigars right above it. How sad... these signs are so colorful it is hard to ignore and not get my kids attention.

This photo is a perfect example of how my kids are inundated with tobacco advertising. In fact, my son is pointing to all the signs in the window and you can see how much is around him. Seems pretty clear to me that Tobacco companies are trying to get kids started young.

When I saw this sign, I thought it was a joke. I mean Camel Number 9!!!! It's kind of demented to think that big Tobacco can throw a sign together that's pink and sparkly just to try to get girls attention. It must work, because you can see this sign from everywhere.

Check out these new products from Camel. This is a free variety pack of Camel’s dissolvable products given to a customer at a store in Portland, OR, a test market for these products. It includes Orbs, Sticks and Strips – new ways to keep people addicted to nicotine. Not happy to see that the packaging isn’t very child-proof.
