Attorney General Dave Sunday led a bipartisan coalition of 22 states in submitting a comment letter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Health and Human Services supporting continuation of the National Youth Tobacco Survey.

“Tobacco use continues with youths who are attracted to trendy products, such as vapes, without fully realizing the harmful effects. So we need as much information as we can find on why children use tobacco, so we can shape programming that will resonate with kids,” Attorney General Sunday said. “The most effective way to tackle a dilemma such as youth tobacco use is to promote deterrence, so bad habits stop before they start.”
