Hookah use isn't unique to any culture – but it's becoming increasingly common among young people throughout Minnesota. We must end the sale of flavored hookah and other flavored commercial tobacco products to protect our kids from the dangers of addiction! #KeepLungsLoud #mnleg

We're at the Capitol today advocating for an end to the sale of flavored commercial tobacco products in our state. Big Tobacco has targeted our communities for far too long, and it's time to make a change! #KeepLungsLoud #TakeDownTobaccoMN

"Nearly all the students I see are using flavored e-cigarettes." Studies show the number one way to combat youth addiction is to eliminate the availability of flavored products. It's time to take action in Minnesota: flavorshookkidsmn.org/take-action/

Menthol cigarettes make it easier to start smoking and harder to quit. Ending the sale of menthol tobacco products is about holding Big Tobacco accountable, not penalizing the individuals addicted to their deadly products. #mnleg #KeepLungsLoud #FlavorsHookKidsMN

"We are experiencing an e-cigarette epidemic among our children." 1 in 7 Minnesota 11th graders uses e-cigarettes, and 88% of those students use flavored e-cigarettes. The best way to stop kids from starting is preventing the sale of flavored tobacco in our state. #KeepLungsLoud

Today we celebrate the 26th anniversary of the state of MN & Blue Cross of MN's historic settlement with Big Tobacco. AG Humphrey said: "For the tobacco industry, the bottom line has always been their profits. For us, the bottom line has always been protecting our kids." #mnleg
