New legislation in Vermont would make ZYN and other smoke-free nicotine products LESS affordable and accessible for adult consumers.

Dear [Lawmaker],

I strongly urge you to oppose SB 198, legislation that would make smoke-free nicotine products like ZYN significantly less affordable and accessible for adult consumers in Vermont. 
$q1:: Many Vermont adults have used smoke-free nicotine products to help them leave cigarettes behind. The proposed bill creates a new tiered tax system in addition to the taxes already in place, dramatically increases licensing fees for retailers who wish to sell nicotine products, and implements new regulatory requirements, all of which would drive up prices and reduce availability for products like ZYN. As a result, adult consumers like me would have fewer affordable options. 
$q2:: When smoke-free options become harder to access or afford, people may be pushed back toward more harmful tobacco products, such as cigarettes, or forced to purchase products out of state. That outcome will only hurt consumers, small businesses, and public health in Vermont. $q3:: These changes would also make it more difficult for local retailers to continue to carry smoke-free nicotine products, limiting choice and access further. 
As a ZYN consumer and your constituent, I urge you and your leadership to oppose SB 198 and consider the impact it will have on adults who rely on smoke-free nicotine products. I will be paying close attention as this legislation is considered.

Sincerely,
______
