 Tobacco Industry’s Response:

RJ Reynolds and Altria, two tobacco industry giants,  have filed a referendum to place a measure on our California ballot to block SB 793 from taking effect on January 1, 2021. They have until November 30 to collect the 623,212 signatures to qualify their referendum for the November 2022 ballot. 

 

 What can I do?

Let your voice be heard. Inform your friends and family about SB 793 and the referendum.
