Legislation
The WSMA endorses legislation that restricts youth exposure to
environmental tobacco smoke, restricts the advertising and promotion of
tobacco products to youth, bans vending machines and free sampling of
tobacco products, and bans illegal sales of tobacco products to minors. In
addition, the WSMA endorses legislation that will dedicate long-term
funding for a comprehensive statewide tobacco prevention and education
program directed toward our youth. (Res A-4, A-95) (Reaffirmed A-23)
