Tobacco violence: the role of audiovisual media, influencers and think tanks

abstract

An analysis is presented on the possible reasons that have caused an increase in the prevalence
and incidence rates in tobacco consumption in Spain in recent years and that inevitably leads
to an increase in passive infant smoking. We analyze in detail three novel strategies that the
tobacco industry is currently using: influencers, the product placement of films and TV series
and the emergence of think tanks. We propose measures to be implemented to reduce this
“in-culture” of smoking, the main cause of avoidable death in Spain.

Keywords:

Smoking, passive infant smoking, influencers, think tanks, undercover marketing.
