Kansas City, MO: Tell the City Council to end the sale of flavored tobacco products
The KCMO City Council is considering a bill that would end the sale of flavored tobacco products, and they need to hear from constituents who support this effort to protect kids!
The issue is clear: The tobacco industry uses flavored products to lure kids and get them hooked, and these products are fueling the youth nicotine addiction crisis. Youth e-cigarette use remains a major public health problem, and an overwhelming majority of kids who vape say flavors are why they do it. Meanwhile, Big Tobacco continues to use minty menthol cigarettes and small dessert-flavored cigars to target and addict youth as they've done for decades, especially in communities of color.
Kansas City has a chance to stop and join the growing number of communities across the country who have taken this important step to protect kids and public health.
