Texas: Ask Congresswoman Kay Granger to join the fight to protect kids from flavored tobacco products!

Like the rest of the country, Texas is facing a youth nicotine addiction crisis. And Representative Kay Granger (TX-12) is an important voice in the federal government's decision to do something about it – or not. We need her on our side, working to hold the FDA accountable for its promise to eliminate menthol cigarettes and urging them to eliminate other flavored tobacco products that are hooking our kids.

Tell FDA to protect kids from all flavored tobacco products

Dear Rep. Granger,

Personalize your message

Please urge the FDA to keep its promise to eliminate menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. The FDA must also protect kids by removing all flavored e-cigarettes from the market.

The facts are clear:

• 81% of youth who have used tobacco started with a flavored product.

• Due to heavy tobacco industry targeting, 85% of Black smokers now use menthol cigarettes – compared to 29% of White smokers. This has had devastating health impacts on Black communities.

• 41% of high school smokers use menthol cigarettes, which are easier for kids to start using and harder for smokers to quit.

• Cigars – which come in hundreds of sweet flavors – are now the second most popular tobacco product among high schoolers.

• E-cigarettes and other tobacco products are available in such kid-friendly flavors as Gummi Bear, Mango Mania, Cotton Candy and Cool Mint.

• More than 2.5 million kids nationwide use e-cigarettes, and the vast majority say flavors are the reason why.

Please join the fight to protect kids from all flavored tobacco products.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
