From Lewis' Website:
We all know that tobacco is a killer. We all know that it causes cancer and respiratory problems. We all know that smoking is addictive, and that most people who are hooked began smoking as children.
We cannot wait a moment longer to protect our children from this killer. We must break the cycle. This bill is the right approach.
Children should not see cigarette advertisements from their school playground and at sporting events. Children should not be able to buy cigarettes in a vending machine. And children should not be the target of advertisements designed to get them hooked on smoking.
We should know what it in the cigarettes that people smoke. With the passage of this bill, for the first time, the FDA will know the ingredients in a cigarette, and they will be able to reduce or eliminate harmful ingredients.
We cannot let another child get hooked on cigarettes. We must pass this bill today.
