Did you know there are laws about to***co use across the Pacific?

Here are a few to***co laws in the USAPI that you need to know about:

Palau banned the import, sale, distribution, possession, and use of e-cigarettes in the country. (RPPL No. 11-27)

In Guam, the Youth Protection Act of 2017, increased the minimum age of legal access to to***co products and e-cigarettes to 21 years. (Public Law 34-01)

In FSM, it is against the law to import or export to***co v**e products including e-cigarettes. The fine is between $500 to $5,000. (Public Law 23-72)

To***co and ni****ne use, whether chewing, smoking, or va**ng, is highly addictive and dangerous. It increases the risk of cancer, lung disease, heart attacks, and stroke.

To***co use:
- Causes oral & lung cancer that lead to painful treatments and early death.
- Raises blood pressure and damages arteries causing heart attack and stroke
- Causes addiction & harm to youth by rewiring the brain, making it harder to quit

There is no safe way to use to***co or ni****ne. Protect your health, family and future. SAY NO TO TO***CO!

Did you know nearly two-thirds of all cancer cases in the US-affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) are related to to***co?

The REACH program is committed to raising awareness on the harmful effects of to***co via short public service announcements (PSAs) and campaigns on social media and strengthening community to***co policies. Our goal is to help our islands make healthier choices and protect our families from the dangers of to***co. May 31st is World No To***co Day. Let's protect ourselves, our families, and our islands by saying NO to to***co.
