@Vapingit @ClarkINTPC Tobacco turns children into criminals. Ban tobacco for everyone!!!

[SmokeFreeSTL @STLSmokeFree]

St. Louis Smoke Free is opposed to Rep Lane Roberts HB2211. It’s a Big Tobacco backed bill that will cause folks to smoke more. #MoLeg

[MissouriSmokeFree @SmokeFreeMO]

Missouri sees mirror language in Rep. Roberts HB2211
#MoLeg shouldn’t allow Big Tobacco lobbyists to DeFacto ban lower risk vape products.

I spoke to Professor Li Volti (@livolti1976) about a new vaping study which used 5 different universities and four protocols to avoid bias, 10 year data on vapers’ health and more… https://t.co/y86jME3IVT

NATIONAL: (CALL TO ACTION) A bill to fund @POTUS's "Build Back Better" plan includes OUTRAGEOUS NICOTINE TAXES, increasing the costs of low risk products helping people quit smoking and going back on his promise to not raise taxes on lower income people.

OPINION from A.J. Moll, executive director of @SmokeFreeMO: Tobacco 21 will address youth use; legislature should pass HB 517 #moleg

@OldiesTours Smokeless tobacco shares the same low risk as vaping. Both are much safer than smoking.

[SmokeFreeSTL @STLSmokeFree]

@BasiaMichalski @RobertsforSTL @ACSCAN_MO Please call upon the House Representatives to pass HB517 Shaul, raises the age of tobacco to 21 in Missouri, will help curb youth access.

@aejthf @jmmurphy8 @ACSCAN_MO Please call upon the House Representatives to pass HB517 Shaul, raises the age of tobacco to 21 in Missouri, will help curb youth access.

[SmokeFreeSTL @STLSmokeFree]

@michelainestl House Bill 517 (Shaul) raises the age of tobacco & Vape to 21.
Call Speaker Vescovo and ask that it gets assigned to committee. #tobacco21 #MoLeg

Raise the age for tobacco #MoLeg

@SnubieDotCom @RobVescovo @danshaul113 @EjFleischmann President Trump signed T21 into law last year but enforcement is on the states. If a state doesn’t raise the age then they lose out on federal funding.

Missouri has a patchwork of law of 18 vs 21 depending on the locality. It’s confusing to retailers as to what to enforce.

#MoLeg Raise the age!!! #HB517

In terms of addiction, JUUL is like Oxycodone, but Marlboro is heroin. Addicts tend to stick with the hard stuff. #Tobacco21

#MoLeg should raise the age!!! Pass HB517 #Tobacco21

[Tobacco Monitor @MonitorTobacco]

Increasing the minimum age of sale of tobacco from 18 to 21 will help in reducing tobacco use among young adults. No tobacco for youngistaan! #StrongCOTPAHealthyIndia #Tobacco21 #FixTheTobaccoLaw

[BRAVE Advocates🗣 @BRAVEmediaMO]

Mr. Speaker @RobVescovo
✔️please assign HB517 Shaul to committee.
✔️Raises the age of Tobacco to 21, which is a Federal law signed by Trump.
✔️If Missouri fails to pass T21 we lose Federal funds.

@HealthyParkway Compared to cigarettes, vaping is a much safer alternative.

"some e-cigarette users turned back to combustible cigarettes because of increased e-cigarette taxes, bans on flavored vaping products and confusion about the health effects of vaping" https://t.co/A7PztsRmSR via @WSJ #MoLeg @lincolnhough #vaping
