Libraries and Anti-Smoking Education: Sharing Lifesaving Knowledge
“Libraries may be being slowly replaced by online repositories of knowledge, but they are still treasure troves of valuable information about the risks of tobacco, how forward-thinking groups have challenged the tobacco industry and the tobacco industry’s history of deceptive ads…
Physical libraries will likely be replaced by online repositories of information in the near future, but until then, they have a golden opportunity to make the risks of smoking more widely-known by showcasing the history of the fight against tobacco, displaying posters about the risks of smoking and shining the light on the tobacco industry’s less-than-rosy past. In the future, this information may be online, but regardless of how its accessed, libraries and anti-smoking education will always be closely linked.”
