How healthcare professionals can fight fossil ads

This guide, published by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) in September 2023, provides a strategic framework for healthcare professionals to advocate for the banning of fossil fuel advertising. It argues that fossil fuel marketing mirrors the historical tactics of the tobacco industry to normalize harmful products and suggests that healthcare workers, as trusted voices, are uniquely positioned to lead campaigns for a 'tobacco-style' ban on fossil fuel ads to protect public health and the climate.
