Health Organizations Applaud Leader Mitch McConnell And Senator Tim Kaine For Their Bill That Would Raise The Sales Age Of Tobacco Products To 21, Saying It ‘Will Help Remove Tobacco From High Schools,’ ‘Be Instrumental In Stemming The Epidemic Of Vaping,’ And Could ‘Save Hundreds Of Thousands Of Lives’
UNITE TO PREVENT CANCER Co-Founder Dr. Ron DePinho, MD: “Raising the age of tobacco purchase from 18 to 21 is a critical step forward that will profoundly improve the health of our children and future generations. As a physician and parent, I applaud Leader McConnell and Senator Kaine for introducing the Tobacco Free Youth Act, a bipartisan effort to help prevent young people from starting down a path of addiction and premature death.”
