Oregon City Supports Statewide Ban on Flavored Tobacco Products
OREGON CITY, OR — Oregon City has taken a stand against flavored tobacco products by passing a resolution on Wednesday that calls for an end to their sale.
On May 29th, D.C. Council passed the $2 per pack cigarette tax! Some of the revenue will be used for smoking cessation programs and to implement raising the minimal sales age for tobacco products to 21. Thank you to to the D.C. Council for passing this important legislation. A special thank you to Councilmember Vincent Gray for being our champion and to all the council members who supported this. Thank you also to all of our volunteers and advocates who took action and to the American Heart Association - Greater Washington Region American Lung Association in the District of Columbia, Breathe DC Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, DC Fiscal Policy Institute and March of Dimes Maryland-National Capital Area Chapter for their partnership on this campaign. #RaiseIt4HealthDC
