The Hawaii Senate is on the verge of adopting the so-called “Nicotine Free Generation (NFG)” policy, a modern-day attempt at prohibition that would impose a “generational smoking ban.” This one-size-fits-all approach ignores clear differences among tobacco products and lumps premium cigars—a handcrafted product for a discerning adult clientele.

Why Oppose NFG?

• Not All Tobacco Is Alike: Independent research shows premium cigars do not present the same public health risks related to inhalation, addiction, mortality, or youth access.
• Prohibition Doesn’t Work: History has proven that blanket bans fail, driving products underground instead of addressing legitimate public health concerns.
• Protect Adult Choice: Premium cigars are responsibly enjoyed by adults who appreciate quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. A sweeping generational ban diminishes personal freedoms without evidence of health benefits.

Take Action Now:
Contact your state senator and urge them to reject the Nicotine Free Generation proposal. Let them know premium cigars are distinct, deserve fair treatment, and should not be subjected to misguided legislation that will only create more problems than it solves. Your voice matters—stand up for sensible regulation and your customers’ right to responsibly enjoy premium cigars!
