St. Lawrence County Reality Check youth from Massena recently met with Senator Joe Griffo to discuss their concerns with tobacco companies advertising tactics to get youth hooked on smoking.

From posters and signs inside and outside of stores, to well-lit displays behind the counter, the tobacco industry spends more money to market cigarettes than junk food, soda and alcohol industries combined.
