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

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’ health comes before corporate profit.

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 #WNTD #TobaccoExposed
