Good News: H.R. 2339, Reversing Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act - PASSED
Posted about 5 years ago by Annette Johansen
Hello School Nurses,
Piper Largent, NASN Director of Government Affairs wanted to share the incredibly good news that H.R. 2339, the Reversing Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act, passed out of the House by a vote of 213 to 195. This is a historic victory and marks the first time that a house of Congress has voted to prohibit all flavored tobacco products, including flavored e-cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
The Reversing Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act was a NASN Legislative Priority. Your advocacy made a difference. Thank you for your help!
The final roll call vote can be found here.
Please let Piper know if you have any questions and congratulations!
