Flavored to***co products are fueling youth ni****ne addiction. Fruit, candy, and menthol flavors make products like vapes, ci**rs, and ni****ne pouches more appealing to young people and can make ni****ne addiction easier to start.

The to***co industry uses flavors to attract new users and keep them coming back. Communities across Minnesota have taken action to restrict the sale of flavored to***co products, helping reduce youth access and support healthier environments for children and families.

We need your leadership to protect the next generation of local youth and create a healthier future for our community.
