AI Summary
This bill, the Quell Underage Inhaling of Toxic Substances (QUITS) Act of 2019, proposes several key provisions: 1) Increasing taxes on certain tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco, and roll-your-own tobacco, to achieve tax parity across these products. 2) Prohibiting the use of artificial or natural flavors (except for tobacco) in tobacco products, with an exception for electronic nicotine delivery systems if the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines the flavor would increase smoking cessation without increasing youth tobacco use. 3) Increasing the authorization of appropriations for the Office of Smoking and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to $500,000,000 per fiscal year to support related public health programs.
