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:
- Pass a law to license all tobacco retailers, including e-cigarette retailers;
- Prohibit flavorings, including mint and menthol, for all tobacco products;
- Eliminate purchase, use and possession laws and preemption of stronger local laws;
- Increase cigarette taxes and match the tax on non-cigarette forms of tobacco like spit tobacco, cigars, hookah and e-cigarettes to the cigarette tax.
