Geared Up for the Upcoming 2010 reACT Campaign


reACT is going full speed ahead as we prepare to launch our newest

campaign, which focuses on ways in which Corporate Tobacco targets teens in Montana. They do it by watching everything teens do. They know what you watch on TV, what you think about, what you wear, who we look up to,

how we spend our time... they're basically obsessed with you. And they

do it because they need you to be replacement tobacco users. They want to addict you now so you'll keep feeding them money for the rest of your lives.

 

So watch out! They're always watching you!

 

Check out pictures from the upcoming campaign! Look for the campaign starting September 13th!
