Oakland, CA, just banned all flavored tobacco products at all locations, including flavored e-cigarettes and cigars and menthol cigarettes. It's the right move to protect kids and a great example for Los Angeles and California – currently considering similar legislation – and the rest of the nation.

Today was supposed to be the deadline for e-cigarette companies to apply to the FDA to keep their products on the market. But it was pushed back yet again, this time to September 9th.

Meanwhile, these companies continue peddling nicotine-loaded, highly-addictive e-cigarettes in thousands of kid-friendly flavors. Amid COVID-19, this is the worst time to allow a predatory industry to hook kids on lung-harming products.

We're petitioning the FDA to stop flavored e-cigarettes without further delay.​ Add your name:

An important statement from the World Health Organization:

“Tobacco smoking is a known risk factor for many respiratory infections and increases the severity of respiratory diseases. A review of studies by public health experts convened by WHO on 29 April 2020 found that smokers are more likely to develop severe disease with COVID-19, compared to non-smokers.

“COVID-19 is an infectious disease that primarily attacks the lungs. Smoking impairs lung function making it harder for the body to fight off coronaviruses and other diseases. Tobacco is also a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease and diabetes which put people with these conditions at higher risk for developing severe illness when affected by COVID-19. Available research suggests that smokers are at higher risk of developing severe disease and death.”
