The U.S. is one of the world’s top tobacco producers. North Carolina & Kentucky produce 77% of U.S. tobacco, and both allow children to work in tobacco fields, a hazardous and toxic environment, at 12 years old. #EndUSChildLabor #WorldNoTobaccoDay

Children working on tobacco farms had higher levels of nicotine in their saliva than active smokers in the general population. In the US, children as young as 12 are legally allowed to work in tobacco fields. #EndUSChildLabor #WorldNoTobaccoDay

We're grateful for Rosa DeLauro and Senator Dick Durbin for demanding a stop to #ChildLabor on toxic #tobacco farms. You can help end this scourge by contacting your member of Congress. Takes one minute. enduschildlabor.org/take-action-no…

Tomorrow is #WorldNoTobaccoDay and we are marking the day by asking everyone to write to their member of Congress and demand an end to dangerous child labor on U.S. farms. 23 House members and 3 Senate members say "enough is enough." enduschildlabor.org/take-action-no…

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, children as young as 12 can legally work in U.S. agriculture—including on toxic tobacco farms. On #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we must say clearly: no child should be exposed to life-threatening toxins on the job. #EndUSChildLabor

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! Campaign to End US Child Labor #WorldNoTobaccoDay enduschildlabor.org/take-action-no…

In 2019, lawmakers raised the age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21. If 18 is too young to smoke tobacco, why is 12 old enough to harvest it? #WorldNoTobaccoDay #EndUSChildLabor

DYK: The U.S. is one of the world’s top tobacco producers—and child labor is still legal in the fields where it’s grown. North Carolina & Kentucky produce 77% of U.S. tobacco, and both allow children to work in tobacco fields at 12 years old. #EndUSChildLabor #WorldNoTobaccoDay

Child labor is not just an "over there" issue—it’s a U.S. issue too. Millions of children are still working in dangerous jobs around the world, including right here in the United States. #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor #EndUSChildLabor

Today is #WorldDayAgainstChildLabor.  Between 2015 and 2023, child labor violations in the US have risen nearly 300%.  Let your Member of Congress know that you want to #EndUSChildLabor. enduschildlabor.org/take-action-no…
