Let's show our kids we care about the dangers of tobacco use

May 31 is World No Tobacco Day. What a fine dream it is - ending the human suffering from tobacco use. Tobacco kills more people than illegal drugs, alcohol, murder, suicide, AIDS and accidents COMBINED!

Let's take a stand against tobacco use in our community and pass an ordinance limiting youth access to tobacco and reducing the exposure of all citizens to secondhand smoke.

Across Oregon local towns are trying to reduce the loss of life and loss of quality of life by the passage of such ordinances.

Let's show our kids we care about their lives.
