‼️Please take 30 seconds to ask your State Representative to oppose SF 2480, a bill that proposes an insignificant tax on v**e and ni****ne pouches. ‼️

This bill won't reduce youth va**ng and won't meaningfully impact chronic disease. Contact your Rep. today: https://lung.quorum.us/campaign/OpposeSF2480IA/

Today we release the American Lung Association’s 2026 “State of the Air” report, and the findings are clear: too many children - nearly half - are growing up breathing unhealthy air.

Despite decades of progress, 152 million people of all ages still live in areas with unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution. Recent EPA rollbacks will result in even more pollution in the air we breathe.

This Earth Day, join us in calling on EPA to protect the health of every child.
