We need to tell Congress it's time to protect public health against tobacco products. Please join thousands of advocates and call on Congress to grant FDA regulatory authority over tobacco products. 

In 2004, Congress came extremely close to enacting legislation granting the Food and Drug Administration authority over tobacco products.  Unfortunately, the bill as blocked by leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives.  In March 2005, legislation was again introduced to grant FDA authority over tobacco products.

While Congress fails to move the legislation forward, thousands of children are becoming addicted to tobacco products and the tobacco industry is coming up with new marketing strategies, such as candy-flavored cigarettes, to lure more children to take up smoking.

Don't let anymore time pass! Send a letter today to your Senators and Representative to protect kids from tobacco and promote public health by supporting FDA authority to regulate tobacco products and advertising claims.
