HIKE
FOR LUNG HEALTH UPDATE
#3
TOGETHER WE HAVE RAISED $21,271.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE STARTED THEIR FUNDRAISING
CAMPAIGNS!
CONGRESS PASSES HISTORICAL
TOBACCO LEGISLATION
The U.S.
Senate passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco
Control Act. This historic legislation will give the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to
regulate tobacco products.
The Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act will mandate
larger health warnings on packages, require detailed
ingredient disclosure and require tobacco companies to
fund the FDA activity. This act also empowers the FDA to
require changes in tobacco products, such as the removal
or reduction of harmful ingredients.
This
proposal advanced through the U.S. Senate and House of
Representatives and will soon go to the President for
his signature. President Obama has indicated he will
sign the historic measure into law.
