Thanks to your efforts in contacting our Illinois U.S. Senators, both Senator Burris and Senator Durbin have signed on to co-sponsor the Family Smoking and Tobacco Prevention Act!!!
Thank Senator Burris and Senator Durbin TODAY by following this link!
The provisions in the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act will save lives by finally giving the Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate tobacco products and to curb the industry’s marketing of their deadly products to our children.
Tobacco kills over 400,000 Americans every year. Approximately 150,000 of these smoking-related deaths are from cardiovascular disease. Smoking is a major cause of cardiovascular disease, our nation’s number 1 killer. Despite these alarming numbers, tobacco has remained largely unregulated, exempt from basic consumer protections.
As you know, this is important legislation that will protect our children and other loved ones from the deceptive marketing practices of the tobacco industry.
TAKE ACTION! Thank our U.S. Senators in Illinois for their Leadership on this Issue!
