FDA Regulation of Tobacco Products Passes U.S. House
Congress took an important step to help protect kids from deadly tobacco products. With an overwhelming vote of support, the legislation now moves on to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
Everyday without regulation, 3500 kids try their first cigarette. The U.S. Senate needs to act fast to stop children from becoming addicted to deadly tobacco products. Send a message to your U.S. Senators now and urge them to take up this legislation as soon as possible.
 Why does Big Tobacco target children? It's simple:
· 90% of all smokers had their first cigarette before age 18
· Each day, 4,000 kids light their first cigarette |
How far will Big Tobacco go?
Think it is far fetched that the tobacco industry would use a Crayon box to market cigarettes? We don’t think so. Tobacco companies continue to blatantly market their products to America’s youth, with everything from fruit- and alcohol-flavored cigarettes, smokeless tobacco products, and cigars to makeup gift bags and cell phone “bling” giveaways. Why? Because they are well aware of what entices kids and know 90% of all smokers start before the age of 18.
