Pamela, It's hard to believe that anything could undo decades of progress in lowering youth tobacco use. But that's exactly what is happening across the country, and flavored e-cigarettes are behind it. With thousands of kid-friendly flavors ranging from cool mint to cotton candy, these stealthy products have exposed millions of kids to massive doses of nicotine – putting their brain development and lung health in jeopardy during a critical time. It's more than unacceptable, it's dangerous. And after years of inaction, it's past time to get these insidious products off the market before they trap more kids in Big Tobacco's net. JOIN US: End the sale of addictive flavored e-cigs to protect kids >> The numbers are dire. 1 in 5 high schoolers uses e-cigarettes, and 730,000 kids use them EVERY SINGLE DAY. That's a sure sign of addiction, and a reminder of what's at stake if nothing is done. Pamela, make no mistake: We can achieve much-needed reforms at all levels of government – and we've done just that in cities and states across the country. But we need YOUR help to make 2021 the year we finally defeat this scourge and stop our kids from becoming Big Tobacco's next generation of customers. There's no time to waste. Please add your name today and join our fight to end youth nicotine addiction. Thanks, Protect Kids: Fight Flavored E-Cigarettes, a project of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids |
