This ban is a huge victory for S.F against the nicotine epidemic! Let’s keep making tobacco and nicotine less accessible for youth like us. #ypl #youthpolicyleaders #freesf #smokefreesf #protectouryouth #freshair @ San Francisco, California

If passed, this bill would suspend the sale of e-cigarettes until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration completes a review to ensure the safety of e-cigarettes. There's no question about it anymoreJuul is a product of Big Tobacco, and the industry knows Juul is its best chance to hook vulnerable youth on nicotine. Why is Juul afraid of being reviewed by the FDA? What are they hiding?... Remember, the less accessible we can make nicotine, the healthier future generations will be :)

California is poised to become the first US state to offer government-provided healthcare to immigrants. California Democrats agreed on Sunday that ALL adults between the ages of 19-25 should have access to Medi-Cal! We think everyone deserves healthcare asa basic right, and someone's status in this country shouldn't be an obstacle to living a healthy life. Do you think other states should provide healthcare to undocumented adults that are low-income?

Ever wonder what the real costs are of using tobacco when you're young? Check out this video from TobaccoFreeCA! (Maybe you've already seen it on TV) San Francisco is cracking down on Juul and other tobacco brands that target students.... Have you ever seen someone vaping at school?

This is the big tobacco playbook....#2 in-store ads and discounts....#5 cheap cigars and cigarillos....#7 e-cigarette marketing.... Flavors are gone in San Francisco, but the tobacco industry still targets youth with pricing and marketing strategies. Raising the price of tobacco is the most effective way to reduce use by young people. This can be accomplished with minimum pricing and pack size laws, as well as prohibiting the redemption of coupons.... How has big tobacco targeted you today?
