In this April 11, 2018 file photo, a high school student uses a vaping device near a school campus in Cambridge, Mass.As parents, aunts, and uncles, we know the impacts of tobacco addiction on a personal level. We have watched as loved ones have struggled just to breathe. We have witnessed friends’ lives cut short by cancer and other devastating illnesses. We have worried as our own children’s schools have tried, over and over, to stop vaping in the bathrooms.
The tobacco industry has known for decades that flavors attract kids. From 1950 Flintstones ads to Juul’s insidious social media, giant tobacco corporations have invested millions in marketing designed to lure in children while knowing that addictive nicotine severely harms brain and lung development.
We call on our Denver City Council colleagues to vote in favor of this ordinance and put Denverites’ health over tobacco industry profits. Together, we can halt the cycle of addiction, save lives, and create a Denver where every child is free to thrive, unshackled from the grip of tobacco and nicotine. By ending the sale of flavored tobacco in Denver, we are not only protecting kids like Victoria and Tara but also ensuring a healthier, brighter future for all.
