YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Groundbreaking new legislation will give the Food and Drug Administration the legal authority to regulate cigarettes -- their sale, distribution, and advertising. The bipartisan bill from Senators Kennedy and Dodd and the HELP Committee will stop tobacco companies from targeting children and misleading the public. With 3,500 kids trying smoking for the first time every day, 3.5 million of our nations high school students smoking and nearly half a million Americans dying every year as a result of their smoking or someone elses, this bill could not come at a more important time," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
