Lung Cancer Alliance Hails Signing of Tobacco Control Legislation Into Law; Urges Action on Lung Cancer
June 23rd, 2009
The federal government can now regulate the amount of nicotine in tobacco products, ban flavorful additives, require every chemical ingredient to be detailed on the label and prohibit deceptive marketing and ads that target the young.
Lung Cancer Alliance President Laurie Fenton-Ambrose said, “This puts us on a whole new track in helping current smokers to quit and in preventing new generations of young people from ever becoming addicted in the first place.”
