As kids head #BacktoSchool, e-cigarette makers continue to flood the market with kid-friendly products that deliver massive doses of nicotine. Our President & CEO Yolonda Richardson joined American Academy of Pediatrics’ Dr. Jose Cucalon Calderon in a cross-country media tour to discuss this problem and the urgent need for FDA action. Join us in calling for the FDA to remove illegal e-cigarettes from the market at tfk.org/illegal-ecigs

We applaud stopandshop for the terrific move of ending all tobacco sales “Stop & Shop aims to support the health and well-being of the neighborhoods we serve — and this exit from tobacco is one more way we’re accomplishing that goal.” They’re setting a great example for other retailers.
This local grocery store chain will stop selling cigarettes, tobacco products

One Juul pod contains the equivalent nicotine of 20 cigarettes — a highly addictive amount. Today, some e-cigs can contain more nicotine than *200 cigarettes.* Join us in sending a message to the FDA that we need action now: tfk.org/illegal-ecigs

I recently had the pleasure of appearing alongside Dr. Jose Cucalon Calderon on 18+ Spanish media outlets nationwide to discuss the critical importance of why the FDA and other agencies must step up their enforcement and act decisively to remove illegal e-cigarettes from the market. Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is working around the clock and across the globe to stop the tobacco industry from addicting a new generation - but we can't do it without your support!

At Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Global Health Advocacy Incubator, we know a thing or two about standing up to harmful industries. This is a great article in TIME about the lessons learned from taking on health-harming industries like tobacco, ultra-processed foods and prescription opioids.

We're honored to join Red PaPaz in Cartagena and Pereira this week, working alongside local leaders to raise awareness about Colombia’s new e-cigarette law. We’re working together to ensure this law is more than just policy, but a real tool for protecting young people from the harms of tobacco products. Strong implementation is the key to making that happen.

We had a fantastic time at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition's annual convention this week. We were honored to meet Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. and listen to Reverend Ritney Castine’s remarks about the faith community’s important role in the effort to eliminate menthol cigarettes. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to learn more and get involved in this life-saving effort.
