Internal tobacco industry documents show that tobacco companies have a long history of using flavors to hook kids.

90% of adult smokers began smoking at or before the age of 18.

Smoking is the leading cause of death and disease in the United States.

The 2021 NYTS found that about 85% of youth e-cigarette users use flavored products.

61,000 kids under the age of 18 and alive in Kansas will ultimately prematurely die from smoking.

Big tobacco needs young people to replace those who die from using their products.

There is significant evidence that e-cigarette use among youth increases the risk of ever using combustible cigarettes among youth and young adults.

The tobacco industry spends over $70.6 million in marketing every year in Kansas alone.
