Sustainable development furthers gender equality

Sustainable development furthers gender equality.

Tobacco has a negative impact on female health.

In Europe, 20 % of smokers are women.

Tobacco companies
– recruit new customers among women and girls
– market smoking as all women’s right and an indicator of equality
– portray women who smoke as trendy and independent
– stay silent on the deadly consequences of smoking
