The American Lung Association calls for the following actions to be taken by Michigan's elected officials to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke:

  1. Pass a law to license all tobacco retailers, including e-cigarette retailers;
  2. Prohibit flavorings, including mint and menthol, for all tobacco products;
  3. Increase funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs; and
  4. Match the tax on non-cigarette forms of tobacco like spit tobacco, cigars, hookah and e-cigarettes to the cigarette tax.
