Today the Senate passed historic legislation designed to curb the tobacco industry from getting kids hooked on their poison. the bill also gives regulators more power to limit nicotine levels in cigarettes. President Obama - himself someone who struggles to quit smoking - is eager to sign the legislation, and the House plans a vote tomorrow.
Voting overwhelmingly to approve the measure, the Senate sent a strong message today that the industry's days of explicitly and purposely targeting kids with their advertising is over!
The soon-to-be new law is expected to cut deaths tied to smoking and save an astounding $100 billion in annual health care costs. Awesome!
