John, The bipartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors recently approved a resolution that supports prohibiting all flavored tobacco products, including flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars!
More than a dozen of the mayors who helped to pass the resolution sat down to tell us why. The resulting video makes a powerful case for cities, states and the federal government to act quickly.
Please watch this short video, and share it with your networks: |
The U.S. Conference of Mayors' resolution underscores the strong, broad support across the country for eliminating flavored tobacco products and stopping tobacco companies from using these products to target and addict kids, Black communities and other populations. Mayors are seeing firsthand the harm these products cause to the health of their communities, and they are stepping up to demand action that will protect kids from tobacco addiction, advance health equity and save lives.
This resolution should spur more states and localities crack down on the sale of flavored tobacco – as five states and over 360 localities have already done. It should also spur the FDA to meet its own deadline for issuing final rules this year to prohibit menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, and also to act quickly to clear the market of all flavored e-cigarettes. Help us spread the word – and push policymakers to act – by sharing the video >> Sincerely, |
