Tobacco Control Law Advocacy

The NAACP Maryland State Conference, LOCAL Maryland, American Heart Association, Voices for Healthier Kids and American Cancer Society, Cancer Action Network have partnered to share how racial inequity and health disparities are reinforced by industry-backed laws that limit the rights of communities to protect the health of their residents.
Save lives, reduce spending, and create a healthier Maryland
​— We must protect Local Tobacco Control powers.

What's Next? Let Legislators Know How You Feel

On Feb. 24, the Maryland Local Tobacco Control Bill (H.B. 1011, S.B. 410) will be introduced to the Maryland House Economic Matters Committee at 1 p.m.

Our goal is simple – to restore the abilities of localities to enact and enforce local laws regulating the sale and distribution of cigarettes and other dangerous tobacco products to fit the specific needs of their communities.

Click here to reach out to local members of both the Senate Finance Committee and House Economics Matters and let them know that you want Maryland’s localities to regain control of tobacco products so that members of your community can thrive!
