Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, children as young as 12 can legally work in U.S. agriculture—including on toxic tobacco farms. On #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we must say clearly: no child should be exposed to life-threatening toxins on the job. #EndUSChildLabor

DYK: The U.S. is one of the world’s top tobacco producers—and child labor is still legal in the fields where it’s grown. North Carolina & Kentucky produce 77% of U.S. tobacco, and both allow children to work in tobacco fields at 12 years old. #EndUSChildLabor #WorldNoTobaccoDay

Children working on tobacco farms had higher levels of nicotine in their saliva than active smokers in the general population. In the US, children as young as 12 are legally allowed to work in tobacco fields. #EndUSChildLabor#WorldNoTobaccoDay

In 2019, lawmakers raised the age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21. If 18 is too young to smoke tobacco, why is 12 old enough to harvest it? #WorldNoTobaccoDay #EndUSChildLabor

Thank you for your leadership in protecting children. We agree- children should not be working in #tobacco. #EndUSChildLabor #WorldNoTobaccoDay
Big Tobacco spent decades targeting kids as customers and exploiting their labor. Children as young as 12 are working in tobacco fields, exposed to toxic levels of nicotine that cause lasting harm. I'm proud to join @SenatorDurbin in banning child labor in tobacco. Our kids’

Farming tobacco can cause breathing difficulties, nausea, headaches, dizziness, rashes, & irritation to mouth & eyes. But in the US, a 12yr-old can do this hazardous work. Write to legislators to stop #ChildLabor in tobacco! @EndUSChildLabor @ChildLaborCLC
