The Arizona House of Representatives is about to vote on a very bad bill. Backed by the tobacco industry, HB-2682 would roll back local tobacco prevention laws across the state and ban Arizona communities from passing new ones!
We have to stop it from passing. Please contact your state representative ASAP:
In communities across Arizona, parents, teachers, doctors, and local elected officials have come together to decide what's best for their kids, passing laws that protect them from tobacco products and tobacco industry targeting. HB-2682 would undo this work, decimate local tobacco control efforts, and give the tobacco industry free reign in our state. It's truly a gift to Big Tobacco.
And it's especially egregious as Arizona faces a new youth nicotine addiction crisis, with 1 in 5 high school students now using e-cigarettes.
This bad bill just passed the state Senate! The House is now expected to vote on final passage as early as TODAY, March 10th.
This is our last chance to stop it before it goes to Governor Ducey's desk.
Send a message to your state representative ASAP today telling them to reject HB-2682 >>
