Pelosi Remarks at Press Event on Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act
< < Go Back
When people ask me what are the three most important issues facing the Congress, now for 30 years I’ve always said the same thing: our children, our children, our children – their health, their education, the economic security of their families, a clean, safe environment in which they can thrive, a world in peace in which they can reach their fulfillment.
Do you see what is happening with this appeal to children? Trying to addict them to tobacco is a real assault on the health and well-being of America’s children and America’s families. Today, Democrats are taking strong action to protect America’s children as we pass H.R. 2339, legislation to confront the growing youth tobacco crisis in our nation – the growing youth tobacco crisis in our nation.
