Public Health Advocates! We need your help. The Indiana legislature is hearing SB144 TOMORROW. This bill includes important public health provisions we support. However, as the bill advances, it is critical that lawmakers do not charge or penalize young people for the purchase, use or possession of to***co or va**ng products. We need YOU to sign this action alert and get your voices heard!

Why this matters:

-Penalizing youth for ni****ne addiction does not reduce to***co use
-It can lead to unintended involvement with the criminal justice system
-Evidence-based to***co prevention works best when accountability is placed on retailers and manufacturers, not young people
-Youth need prevention, education, and cessation support- not punishment

We support SB144 overall and believe it is strongest when it:

-Protects youth from addiction and long-term health harms
-Focuses enforcement on those who sell and market to***co products
-Avoids criminalizing young people struggling with addiction

Join us in urging Indiana lawmakers to please SUPPORT SB144, oppose provisions that charge youth for purchase, use or possession and keep Indiana’s youth to***co policy evidence-based and focused on health.

Last year, Indiana Lawmakers raised its to***co taxes. While we are glad that after almost two decades of advocating, we are seeing the results pay off. We still fall short in being able to successfully fund to***co control programs across the state to prevent and assist people to quit smoking or va**ng. All Hoosiers pay the price of the to***co industry, even our children.

The proof is in the pudding, due to the to***co tax increases, we are seeing an incredible increase in Quit Now Indiana services. Find the full report below from Campaign for To***co-Free Kids annual report on the state of to***co control titled, Broken Promises to Our Children.

We'll be sharing these findings with lawmakers this Monday, January 26th from 10am-2pm EST. 3rd Floor South in the Indiana Statehouse.

Hoosiers have spoken—we need to increase the cigarette tax by $2/pack with a parallel increase on other to***co products, and an increased investment in our state’s to***co prevention and cessation program to $15 million annually. Over the past year, we’ve collected supporter cards from across the state showing that these are popular and effective policies. The time is NOW for the Indiana Legislature to act!
