One simple signature will significantly reduce youth access to tobacco products.
The Tobacco Industry hasn't given up. Neither will we.
The American Heart Association and other tobacco control advocates support the Tobacco Modernization and Compliance Act of 2010 (Senate File 3055/House File 3467), a bill that will:
-Expand the definition of tobacco products to include any product that contains tobacco and is intended for human consumption. This change ensures that the new dissolvable tobacco products that are candy flavored and resemble mints and breath strips are taxed and regulated as tobacco products.
-Require all tobacco products to be sold behind the counter and ensure youth do not have easy access to these products.
-Prevent the sale of new tobacco products and e-cigarettes to youth.
