The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) was disappointed to see the legislature overturn the governor’s veto of legislation that will limit access to Medicaid.

Today, the Senate State and Local Government Committee voted out House Bill 211, which would prevent local governments from prohibiting smoking in some cigar bars.

State Rep. Robert Duvall has introduced legislation, House Bill (HB) 187, which would direct approximately $7.2 million in future payments from the JUUL settlement for youth tobacco prevention, including e-cigarette prevention, and to help those already addicted quit.

Everyone has the right to breathe clean, smoke-free air regardless of where they live, work or play. That is why the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) opposes House Bill 211, which passed the Kentucky House today.
