Corrective Statements: Resources for Tobacco Control Advocates.

Starting on November 26, 2017, the major U.S. tobacco companies must begin running court-ordered television and newspaper ads that tell the American public the truth about the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke. The ads – called corrective statements – will run in print and online in about 50 newspapers. They will also run for one year on the major television networks during prime time. Below is the listing of materials from Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

• Landing page with background information on the case, including a timeline of key legal milestones and Judge Kessler’s final opinion
• Information on when and where the ads will be running
• Template press release for state and local advocates to use (also attached)
• PDF of the PowerPoint presentation played during last week’s webinar
• Replay of the corrective statements webinar
• Press statement sent out on behalf of public health intervenors
• Shareable materials page—includes social media graphics, sample social media posts, and the television ads
