Flavors Hook Kids VT

There's a public health emergency unfolding right before our eyes — and the cause couldn't be clearer.

The tobacco companies are using flavored products to hook kids — and it's working. Flavored tobacco products, especially e-cigarettes, have addicted a new generation of kids and threaten to reverse the decades-long progress Vermont has made in reducing youth tobacco use. Eight out of ten kids who have used tobacco started with a flavored product.

Vermont can protect kids by ending the sale of all flavored tobacco products, one of the most promising ways to prevent the industry from addicting our kids.
