Specifically this claim: When "truth" launched its campaign in 1999, the teen smoking rate was 23%. In 2016, that number was down to 6%.[1] While it may well be true and well-sourced, presenting the information in this manner suggests causality in a way that is not evidenced. I'm pretty sure this violates WP:NPOV; certainly it violates a common-sense interpretation of what it means to strive not to mislead others. 74.12.95.1 (talk) 06:26, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Campaign strategy section needs rewording

The section feels as if it was written from the campaign's perspective, or as if it was arguing for the campaign. Specifically, some of the phrasing like "'truth' strives to be a brand..." and "With hard-hitting advertisements..." seems to me to be promotive. It looks well-sourced, it just needs a rewording.
