DYK: #US law lets 12yr-olds toil in #tobacco fields? Nicotine is a neurotoxin - harvesting it is harmful to kids. Write to #Congress to stop kids working in tobacco! enduschildlabor.org/take-action-no… #WorldNoTobaccoDay

Did you know that the United States allows kids as young as 12 work in #tobacco fields? Nicotine is a neurotoxin - harvesting it is harmful to kids. Write to Congress to stop kids working in tobacco! Campaign to End US Child Labor #WorldNoTobaccoDay

In the U.S., you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes, yet U.S. law allows children who are only 12 to harvest #tobacco. Child workers wear black plastic garbage bags in a desperate attempt to avoid nicotine poisoning. #EndUSChildLabor Fix this here: enduschildlabor.org/take-action-no…

Farming #tobacco can cause breathing difficulties, nausea, headaches, dizziness, rashes, & irritation to mouth & eyes. But in the #US a 12yr-old can do this hazardous work. Write to legislators to stop #ChildLabor in tobacco @‌EndUSChildLabor

In the #US, thousands of kids are injured at work every year, and at least one child is killed every month. In 2022, 6 of the 19 children killed at work were under the age of 16. It's the World Day Against #ChildLabor, & the US is #NotSafeForKids. #EndUSChildLabor #WDACL2024
