Prices have been raised and advisory labels have been placed on cigarette packs that they do indeed cause cancer and other health issues. Some people, especially young people are really into fashion. The need to want to wear a fur or ivory jewelry for example might be more important to them than saving wildlife. Fashion has made a lot of improvements by making vegan products such as vegan leather and most people aren’t’ buying furs etc, however it’s still being done.
