This activity will have two main stages. First, you will select and analyze a case scenario regarding key policy options addressing novel and emerging nicotine and tobacco products. Then, you will share pictures of different forms (if possible) of advertisement, promotion, or sponsorship of novel and emerging nicotine and tobacco products in your area. To complete this activity you will need to reply to at least one post made by your peers.

Step 1:  Analyze

Step 2.  Find Examples

Find Examples: Take three pictures of different forms (if possible) of advertisement, promotion, or sponsorship of novel and emerging nicotine and tobacco products in your area (i.e., magazines, festivals, social media). If you cannot locate any in your area, you may use internet images. 

• Answer: Who do you think the intended audience is (e.g., youth or women)?

Step 3: Write

Write a 300-500 word post that:

• Answers the chosen case scenario raised in Step 1;
• Provides context and introduces the example pictures identified in Step 2; and
• Answers the question raised in Step 2.

Step 4: Share
