HR1108: Your Action is Needed

The following information is provided by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

Call to Action - H.R. 1108 - The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act

This could be a very big week for tobacco control. The House of Representatives is expected to take a historic vote on critical legislation to give FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products on Wednesday, July 30.

Please contact your Representative before 12:00 PM Wednesday and tell him or her to vote YES on H.R. 1108, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. H.R 1108 would grant FDA the ability to regulate tobacco products, restrict advertising and marketing of tobacco products, control nicotine levels, and prescribe warning labels.

Tell your Representative to vote YES on H.R. 1108 to grant the FDA authority over tobacco products.

The time to act is here. Please encourage your members to call their Representatives today. To find your Representative’s contact information, please visit ASCO’s Grassroots Action Center.
