To save lives we must end the sale of flavored to***co products as soon as possible!

![Hawaii Owes Its Youth A To***co And Nicotine-Free Hawaii](https://img3.findglocal.com/072/960/680632460729602.jpg)
Mahalo Hawai‘i County Mayor Mitch Roth for speaking out about the importance of SB 1447, which would allow counties to enact their own regulations on to***co and e-ci******es. As a state, Hawai‘i has struggled with the youth va**ng epidemic for several years. The problem is the worst on the neighbor islands. The counties are uniquely positioned to quickly address the health needs of their communities and have used that ability to great success. In fact, Hawai‘i County was among the first in the nation to raise the age for to***co sales to 21. SB 1447 restores the counties’ ability to pass these innovative policies at the local level and to find new and effective ways to address the public health challenges posed by to***co use.
Hawaii Owes Its Youth A To***co And Nicotine-Free Hawaii The Legislature has heard but not yet passed legislation to protect our kids from these harmful products.

Mahalo to Governor Josh Green and our lawmaker champions for their continued support!
We've partnered with StartLivingHealthyHI to bring attention to Big To***co's tactics that target our community. Because of this, some groups of people use to***co at higher rates, are exposed to more secondhand smoke, and have more to***co-related diseases, contributing to health inequities in our state.
It's time to fight back and hold Big To***co accountable for the harm it causes. Take action and learn more at StrongerTogether.Hawaii.Gov
