Prohibiting the sale of menthol cigarettes & flavored cigars would mark a historic turning point in the #TobaccoEndgame. @amheartadvocacy, 79 orgs & grassroots advocates nationwide are urging the administration to release these lifesaving rules w/o delay.

Glad to see North Carolina signing Medicaid Expansion into law today after being passed by their Republican-majority legislature. We must do the same to #CoverAlabama and put people’s lives and health over politics. 80% of states have expanded - let’s not wait to be the last! – at Montgomery, AL

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court just denied a request by R.J. Reynolds for an emergency injunction to block the implementation of California’s law ending the sale of most flavored tobacco products. It's a major victory for kids and public health. nytimes.com/2022/12/12/us/su…
