U.S. House Passes FDA Tobacco Bill!

The House just moments ago passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act by a vote of 298-112!

Congratulations!

Thank you for all your calls, emails and faxes leading up to this vote! There is no doubt that your efforts were vital to our success today. Your quick reactions to calls for help and the feedback you provided were invaluable.

We will certainly share the vote record as soon as it’s available.

The bill will now move on to the Senate, and we’ll certainly call on you once again for help as we look to make this bill law.
