STATE POLICY CAN PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN REDUCING PEOPLE’S EXPOSURE TO COMMERCIAL TOBACCO.
Minnesotans for a Smoke-free Generation supports policies that reduce youth smoking, including keeping tobacco prices high, raising the tobacco sale age to 21, limiting access to candy-, fruit- and menthol-flavored tobacco and funding future tobacco prevention programs.
Stay tuned for more on our positions on bills being considered by the Minnesota House and Senate.
Note: Tobacco on this site refers specifically to the use of manufactured, commercial tobacco products, and not to the sacred, medicinal and traditional use of tobacco by American Indians and other groups.
