The Morris Leatherman Company: Statewide Issues Survey, January 2020. Tobacco <br /> Issues. 2020. <br />Restricting sales of <br />flavored tobacco products <br />can reduce tobacco use. <br />• Ending the sale of flavored tobacco products will improve <br />the health of Black communities and other groups <br />targeted by Big Tobacco.13,14 <br />• Among Minnesota menthol smokers, half reported <br />they would quit smoking if menthol cigarettes were <br />no longer sold.16 <br />• More than a dozen Minnesota communities have restricted <br />the sale of flavored tobacco products.17 <br />• Studies show that local flavor restrictions reduce the <br />chance that teens will ever try tobacco products.18 <br />Minnesota is ready to clear the market <br />of all flavored tobacco products. <br />A 2020 statewide poll found that 74 percent of Minnesotans support prohibiting the sales of all flavored commercial <br />tobacco products, including menthol cigarettes. Support for this policy was high across demographics and regions, <br />including among African Americans (77 percent support) and rural residents (81 percent support).19 <br />Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation is a coalition of more than 60 organizations <br />that share a common goal of saving Minnesota youth from a lifetime of addiction to <br />tobacco. The coalition supports policies that reduce youth smoking and nicotine addiction, <br />including increasing tobacco prices, ending the sale of menthol and all flavored tobacco <br />products, and funding tobacco prevention and treatment programs. <br />Find out more at www.smokefreegenmn.org.
