RJ Reynolds finally pulled those predatory candy products off the shelves in Colorado. This fight proved that we can force these corporate giants to back down when we refuse to let them target our children. Keep your eyes open because we are not going to let them try this filth …

Background:
Stores around Colorado are now selling candy-like tobacco products from the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company, the same company that gave us the Joe Camel cartoon character to sell Camel cigarettes. RJ Reynolds Tobacco is testing candy-like tobacco products called dissolvables in retail stores in North Carolina and Colorado. RJ Reynolds has a long, documented history of targeting children. We need your help to stop RJ Reynolds and prevent kids from getting these new and other tobacco products in our retail stores. Colorado is missing an important tool to help prevent kids from getting tobacco illegally: licensing for those who sell tobacco. Sadly, Colorado does not require a retail license to sell tobacco.
Action:
Sign our petition and add your name to the growing list of individuals and organizations calling on RJ Reynolds to immediately end their test marketing of their candy-like tobacco products and remove them from Colorado stores and supporting efforts by our local governments and state legislature to license tobacco retailers to help prevent the illegal sale of these new, and all, tobacco products to our children.

RJ Reynolds thinks they can hook our kids with candy-flavored poison in silence, but this massive show of force proves they are wrong. We are forcing them into the spotlight and they will have to reckon with the families they are trying to exploit.

what in the world is wrong with these people. candy tobacco? leave our kids alone for once you greedy suits
I am so tired of seeing these products everywhere. It should be illegal to sell this near schools or in gas stations where kids go for snacks.
RJ Reynolds is pure trash. testing this garbage on our kids?? unbelievable.
Colorado really needs to step up. Every other state has licensing, why are we so far behind? Stop letting these companies target our youth.
This is honestly disgusting. How do they think selling this stuff in reach of kids is okay? Get it off the shelves right now.
