WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Jack Reed today plans to offer an amendment to legislation being debated in the Senate that would remove tax benefits from tobacco advertisers deemed to be targeting children.
A representative for Reed, D-R.I., said the amendment will be proposed when debate on the tobacco bill resumes. “If the tobacco companies don’t comply with marketing restrictions to protect kids, then they should pay for it,” Reed said in a statement.
The Senate had hoped to vote on the national tobacco legislation two weeks ago.
