Child Exploitation
The sad truth...
Tobacco fields are planted all over our area,
This one was behind my house....
Children are worth a lot of money....
"Children under 12 spent more than $24 billion of their own money in 1997, while directly influencing the spending of $188 billion more, McNeal reported in an April 1998 article in American Demographics. He estimates that by 2001, children's spending may reach $35 billion."

I'm not preachin...I'm just sayin

Holy Cow!
I JUST saw this...
I was soooo surprised!
Where I live, tobacco is just another agro product, unless the parent teach the kids different, for urban children, smoking is a rite of passage...
Sad but true...
But not to worry, that's my daughter...she doesn't smoke

When I finished it, one of my kids looked over my shoulder and said
Woah!
Then gave me a high five
I guess I can't get a better critique than that...
