Tobacco Free Kids

Tobacco Free Kids Detail
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids applauds Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) for continuing his strong leadership in the fight to reduce tobacco use and improve our nation's health by introducing comprehensive wellness legislation today. This legislation, the Healthy Lifestyles and Prevention America (HeLP America) Act, includes several important initiatives to reduce tobacco use, the nation's number one cause of preventable death.  Among other things, this legislation would expand Medicaid coverage for treatments to help smokers quit and prevent kids from using tobacco by increasing the price of tobacco products.
Senator Harkin is a longtime champion in the fight against tobacco use and has made this battle a priority as chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP).  He recognizes that preventing chronic diseases – including the cancers, heart disease, lung diseases and other deadly diseases caused by tobacco use – must be a national priority in order to improve health and reduce health care costs in the United States.
