Opinion: Time to clear the air: Why we must support LD 1215

SUN JOURNAL • April 10, 2024

By ending the sale of flavored tobacco products, we can take a stand against the tobacco industry's tactics to ensnare the next generation into nicotine addiction. Flavored tobacco is not a benign indulgence; it is a calculated marketing strategy to increase profits, while saddling young people with lifelong consequences to their health and well-being. That is why Maine’s Environmental Priorities Coalition came out strongly endorsing this legislation earlier this year. ~ Kathleen Meil, Maine Conservation Voters
